The New Status Symbol: Why Sustainable Fashion Is What Real Luxury Looks Like Now

How much of what surrounds you truly reflects who you are? In a world of fast fashion, endless choices, and constant consumption, Found PB, a women-owned business was built around a different idea: surrounding yourself with things that carry meaning, support artisan craftsmanship, and inspire a more intentional living.In this episode, I’m joined by sisters Andrea Pertnoy and Marisa Pepper, the founders of Found in Palm Beach, Florida.I’ve known Andrea and Marisa since we were little girls in dance class, so this conversation is extra special. We talk about how their very different paths, from fashion and retail to yoga, motherhood, handmade pottery, travel, and wellness, eventually came together in the most beautiful way through their business.Found is a reflection of how they live, what they value, and the kind of energy they want to bring into people’s homes and closets.In this episode, you’ll learn:- How Andrea and Marisa went from childhood dancers to building a business together as sisters- What inspired them to create Found Palm Beach and why the store is rooted in intention, sustainability, and storytelling- Why they believe the things we wear and live with should have meaning, not just look pretty- How they source handmade home decor from artisans around the world- What it really looks like to build relationships with makers, not just buy products from them- Why natural fabrics, slow fashion, and thoughtful consumption matter more than everWhether you're curious about sustainable fashion, building a purpose-driven business, navigating life's unexpected transitions, or simply creating a home that feels more like you, I think you'll find something meaningful in this conversation. I hope it leaves you inspired to slow down, be more intentional, and think differently about the things, and experiences, you choose to bring into your life.Hit play and let's grow together, KimberlyConnect with Found PB:Website: https://foundpb.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/found.pb/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/p/foundpb-61577041210561/Connect with Kimberly Hand:Website: https://www.kimberlyhand.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/kimberlyhand_Shop The Cinnamon Effect Journal here: https://thecinnamoneffect.com/journalCleaner basics for the part of your wardrobe that touches you all day.
