ETHICAL FASHION is
100% Vegan & Cruelty Free : for the Animals (but also for the people - no company can have ethical labor who isn't also vegan, slaughterhouses and factory farms have some of the planet's worst labor conditions)
Ethical Labor & Artistry: Living wages in safe toxin free environments and artisinal creative production, as well as independent entrepreneurs who have created their own businesses with their art.
Zero Waste and Innovative Plantbased & Renewed Materials: Humans We Love gowns and fine gems are zero waste. All handmade to order fine jewelry is also zero waste. Our featured shoe brands run small runs using innovative toxin free materials. More from each brand on their pages
ALSO (!) Some favorite luxe ethical things for celebrating a human you love.
All researched by a 22 year level 7 vegan (hi!) to be vegan, sustainable, ethically produced and very pretty.

Everything here is 100% vegan, because animals are not ours to wear. Even when killing an animal is not required in the specific moment of taking something from their body, the process of profitably farming many animals, and taking fibers from their bodies as efficiently and profitably as possible without consent causes a lot of suffering and inherent cruelty to maximize production speed and volume. And what most people don't realize is that in the end when an animal is considered "spent" or no longer as profitable to keep alive - they are killed.
INNOVATION through CONSTRAINTS: One exciting thing about doing small very limited drops of new designs is I can continuously source innovative materials using renewed fibers and discover beautiful deadstock materials which would often end up in the landfill. Stay tuned for new drops as I continue to explore innovative vegan plant based and renewed materials that are luxe and really pretty
PERFECT VINTAGE ENGAGEMENT RING
While working on this bridal gown collection - I was also curious about the most ethical and sustainable engagement ring options and when I started delving into the antique and vintage ring market - I was OBSESSED. Hours went by in a second as I poured over cuts, colors, learning what stones are strong enough for an alternative engagement or committment ring, wearable for every day of the rest of your life, and how to find out if materials are authentic, and who are the dealers that have been collecting them. I can see why most people end up with a very standard solitaire from a big jewelry brand, the vintage and independent designer market can be overwhelming and time consuming to figure out.
So my childhood rock collecting hobby has reappeared as an obsession with vintage and antique engagement rings -- the designs, the cuts, the history! So instead of you having to figure this complex market out it's very fun for me to put this knowledge to use to help you find the perfect ring, one that uniquely reflects your style and is a genuine antique or vintage piece of historical art you can carry with you.
For budgets $2K+. Your ring comes at no extra cost over retail price, and includes free shipping, complimentary resizing, and an appraisal certificate by a Certified Gemologist from the NYC Diamond District.

loved making jewelry, collecting rocks, painting tee shirts and creating recycling programs at school. She's here alive and well, 30 years later so happy to get to play with art, fabrics, and rocks again and hear all about the human you love.
