We feel a deep responsibility to do things differently: to promise comfort without compromising quality. To hold ourselves to a higher standard with a lower environmental impact. To leave the world a better place than we found it.

We recognize the impact the fashion industry has on the world, and we're dedicated to learning how to be better stewards of the planet. We believe the power of conversation and connection can make real change, and we're committed to supporting people and organizations doing work that we believe in.

We welcome everyone - and we mean everyone. We believe a diversity of viewpoints, experiences, and backgrounds only serve to make our team stronger, which is why we strongly encourage those from historically and systemically marginalized communities to apply: BIPOC, women, and people in the LGBTQIA+ community, to name a few. We strive to lead consciously, bravely, and inclusively - and to reflect those values in our work. Employees should embody the five core values of the Faherty team:

• Always Innovate, constantly seeking creative ways to improve and drive forward.
• Bring Day One passion, energy, and grit to every challenge, iterating relentlessly to exceed expectations.
• Move forward as one with a shared purpose, All Together, fostering inclusivity and collaboration across teams.
• Harness the Power of Positivity, even when things get tough we're leading with optimism and resilience in every interaction with our team, customers, and communities.
• Deliver with a Timeless focus, ensuring quality and long-term impact in all efforts.

Remain compassionate. Stay focused. Seek joy. Let's make the world a better place!
