Video: An Interview with Leslie Yang of Feisty Elle

-

The idea of being sustainable, eco or green has changed tremendously over the past few years, so it’s hard to say what fits into these three categories.

Below are just a few ways that Leslie Yang of Feisty Elle embodies these concepts:

  • Using eco friendly materials such as bamboo ply and 100 percent merino wool felt.
  • Keeping it green at the Feisty Elle office and using packaging made from recycled content as well as recycling all packaging and materials.
  • Producing locally with all pieces designed and assembled by hand in San Francisco as well as sharing a commitment to working with local business (suppliers, manufacturers, printers) whenever possible.

I recently caught up with Leslie in New York at the NOW Showcase to see what makes her tick when it comes to sustainability. Here’s what she had to say.
