Home goods brand Coyuchi has been around for 30 years and has seen the industry transform. Its core focus is on providing organic cotton products. It's perhaps most well known for its bedsheets, but has expanded into other areas like loungewear and napkins. But the focus has always been to grow keeping its promise of organic products that speak to its target consumer in mind -- which it considers its competitive advantage against the ever-growing DTC home goods space. CEO Eileen Mockus joined this week's Modern Retail Podcast and spoke about Coyuchi's growth and strategy. The company first launched before DTC was a buzzword -- and as such grew via wholesale. "It was a lot of small retailers," she said. But over the years, the company invested more and more online -- and its e-commerce presence is now its largest sales channel. "It's a big shift," Mockus said. Mockus said that one of the ways Coyuchi was able to grow its online presence so much was by establishing its brand via these retail partners. Through that, the company was able to let customers know about its focus on sustainability. The marketing behind its organic focus has also shifted. Sustainability-focused marketing a decade ago, she said, was "almost a scare tactic." That is, telling a customer about all the perils of using non-organic products. But now, the brand has realized it's better to use this focus as a way to explain why the product is enhanced. "We were really able to shift the conversation," she said. But Coyuchi isn't the only brand having such a conversation. Search for DTC bedding on Google, and you'll be presented with dozens of different options. But Mockus said that Coyuchi being an early arrival -- as well as its focus away from the target millennial demographic most DTC brands go after -- has helped it stand out. "It has definitely been a crowded space in the bedding market," she said. "We have always had a view to who our customer was."

Bell2Bell's latest podcast features the return of Eileen Mockus, President and CEO of Coyuchi Inc., the gold standard in sustainable luxury home goods.  Throughout the interview, Mockus discussed the company's recent milestones as it continues to accept investment through its ongoing Regulation A+ offering. “Coyuchi is a lifestyle brand for luxury, sustainable living… The product that you want for a high-end home can be met with our amazing textiles,” Mockus said. “We started the year by sharing our impact report for 2020 and made some commitments around what we expect our future impact to be. That's tied to things like our use of organic cotton and working with vendors who recycle all of their water. Textile processing requires a fair amount of water, so if we can do that in a way that reduces the amount of water needed, we want to make that happen.  “We have interesting projects where we're investing in regenerative agriculture as the source for our cotton. In 2022, we worked with a group called C4, the California Cotton & Climate Coalition, and grew some cotton on a farm in California. We had some great partners for that project – all looking for ways to increase biodiversity in the soil, add to the water retention for the soil and, generally speaking, protect the health of our soil with the way that we're growing our cotton. We took the cotton from that project, and we're launching two new Coyuchi products using that cotton.”

Today’s conversation is with Eileen Mockus, the CEO of Coyuchi. Eileen is an expert in all things textiles and she has worked with some extraordinary brands (think -- North Face, Pottery Barn, Patagonia). Eileen thought her motivation was driven by making things until she realized it was actually the fabric. Her unique perspective on materials and manufacturing will reframe your view of the industry. Her focus on the human hands that touch and make along the supply chain was refreshing, deeply meaningful and human-centric. Eileen explains why social responsibility is so much more than social compliance and how in her experience consumers want real connections with the brands that they support with their dollars.To learn more visit To learn more visit https://www.coyuchi.com/

In episode 154, Kestrel welcomes Kristen Morabito, the Creative Director of Mohinders, to the show. A small business based in San Francisco + India, Mohinders uses an heirloom process to make their traditionally-tanned leather shoes, and invests in equity and collaboration. “I think one of the key markers of modern, factory chromium tanning is that you can tan a hide of leather in 1 day, and this process that is used in India that the shoemakers engage with takes about 30 days. And it’s just a lot more similar to how leather was made maybe 500 to 1,000 years ago, compared to how leather would be made now.” -Kristin Morabito, Creative Director of Mohinders In this week’s show, Kristen shares more on her background in studio art and writing, and how she originally connected with Michael, the founder of Mohinders, as a freelance designer. Also, she explains more on the inspiration behind Mohinders, and how Michael was inspired to start the brand after purchasing a pair of shoes in a market in India. These shoes became his go-to beloved pair, and led him on a journey back to India to try to find the makers behind his shoes. The below thoughts, ideas + organizations were brought up in this chat: Mohinders’ tanning process is done using a specific nut and tree bark from the Acacia tree as the tanning agents; both are sourced locally and regionally to where they manufacture in India.

In episode 93, Kestrel welcomes Eileen Mockus, the CEO of Coyuchi, and Margot Lyons, Coyuchi’s Sustainability + Production Manager to the show. A home textile company that is committed to using minimally processed organic & natural fibers, Coyuchi also has a human commitment to the hands that touch each product.   "We do sense that the customer is looking for newness, and this allows them to have that newness but at the same time, gives us the ability to take that product back and do something else with it."  -Eileen Mockus, CEO of Coyuchi on Coyuchi For Life Throughout this episode, Kestrel explores Coyuchi's evolving business model with Eileen and Margot. They also focus on the complexities of finding organic linen, and how Coyuchi discovered a small group of farmers in Europe who are growing organic flax, and using it as a rotational crop. Apparently, the organic flax regenerates their fields for the organic food crops that are their primary source of income.  Additionally, Kestrel, Eileen and Margot discuss Coyuchi's recently launched Coyuchi For Life program, which is a circular subscription service for linens. As they say, "new linens, no landfills". Coyuchi has collaborated with The Renewal Workshop to help close the loop on this project. The below thoughts, ideas + organizations were brought up in this chat: Patagonia, Eileen's first job out of college Pottery Barn, Eileen worked with their team to bring organic cotton into their offering GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standard), an important standard for Coyuchi Fair Trade USA Standard, specific to factory workers - used by Coyuchi Fair Trade International, specific to farmers - used by Coyuchi Coyuchi For Life, their approach to transition to a circular business model Renewal Workshop, Coyuchi's partner in their circular program Environmental Working Group, laundry recommendations

In episode 87, Kestrel welcomes Eric Korman, the CEO and Founder of PHLUR, an Austin-based startup that is the first all-digital fragrance company.  With PHLUR, customers get an immersive online experience where they can view images, playlists and horoscope-like descriptions to choose their fragrance style without actually having to smell it first. Apparently, it's scientifically proven that humans smell first with their eyes. "One thing that's kind of crazy about the fragrance category is that brands aren't legally required to disclose what they put in the bottle." -Eric, CEO of PHLUR Eric shares insight into the psychology of scent, and how these concepts drove his framework for building his company.  The second you spray fragrance on your body, the scent begins to evolve because your body is a little heater. Dr. Rachel Herz, expert on the psychology of scent Anne Serrano McClain, helps develop PHLUR's scents IUCN Red List, list of endangered + threatened plant species, which are all prohibited from being used in PHLUR's products Scent is damaged by light, which is strange when 98% of the perfumes on the market are showcased in clear glass bottles. Turns out, brands typically add the preservative BHT to counteract this. PHLUR uses opaque bottles instead, and doesn't have to add anything extra.
