Sustainable Event Wear

This little shop of mine blossomed out of my love for taking things old, used, and unwanted and creating something new and beautiful. It is extremely important to me to be eco-friendly and when you purchase an item from me you are getting a quality, handmade garment that had almost no impact on the Earth. I often even use vintage thread, make some of my dyes out of plants and roots, and re-use snaps, buttons, and zippers when possible.  

My dresses are not meant to be common. They are for people that are not afraid to be a bit different and stand out. They are the alternative to the mainstream foreign factory made dresses. Each piece I make is an original. 

I'm Heather and I have a passion for Heirloom gowns! I have worked in the bridal alterations business for years and was so bothered by the waste created by standard gowns. I started Sunny Rose to combine my love of vintage heirloom gowns and my desire to cut down on waste in the bridal industry. I recycle and reclaim vintage gowns and create a new and beautifully modern gown for a future bride! I can't stand seeing a gown with so much potential waste away at thrift stores or turn into a bloody Halloween costume.
I love redesigning gowns for clients as well, and have worked on gowns almost a hundred years old!

Ethically made wedding gowns are beautiful inside and out.

Each one of Pure Magnolia's team members is passionate about what we do; not just about making pretty wedding dresses, it is easy to be passionate about that. We are passionate about creating a fashion industry that is good for our society, rather than one that profits from harming people and the earth. We stand for Ethical values in the fashion industry, fabric production, labor wages and conditions and responsible utilization of raw materials. We think that every fashion company, big or small, had a responsibility to society to make ethical choices that don’t just reflect the bottom line.

Patty created this company after seeing how much waste and how unethical the fashion, and specifically, wedding industry is. Patty wanted to make a difference, to make wedding gowns that brides were happy and proud to wear because they knew the people who made the dress, they knew the fabrics came from factories that were making ethical choices, they knew the bottom line was not the goal.

Loulette Bride provides the modern, non-traditional bride with a thoughtfully & beautifully designed dress, made with intergrity and responsibly in NYC. Loulette Bride was founded on principles of integrity in our design and responsibility in our design and manufacturing process. 

Having integrity means we only create original designs, and are incredibly proud of the product we create.  We value quality over quantity, and make sure every gown we create is as perfect as it should be, on our bride's most special day.

​

We know that the garment industry is the second most polluting industry in the world. So, we take responsibility in our manufacturing process very seriously. We use natural and organic fabrics as much as possible, and recycle every single fabric scrap to FabScrap. We produce locally by making our garments in our Brooklyn studio and in the New York City Garment District, eliminating transport of goods. By making our gowns to order, we avoid overproduction, one of the biggest issues of the garment industry.

I am inspired by the beauty that surrounds, by a time long since forgotten, yet still lingering in the recesses of the mind... by the intrinsic poetry that exists in our very souls. Having been creating wedding dresses and working with brides for over a decade all over the world, I am also inspired by... True Love. I wanted Raiment of White dresses to be pure from the fibre to the finishing, so I set out to find the purest, handcrafted linen and textiles available. Raiment of White dresses are made of the finest organic fabric, handcrafted by a small scale manufacturer who is dedicated to ethical practices. They grow and manufacture their %100 organic, chemical and sweatshop free materials. Needless to say they are committed to sustainable living and practices that enrich the environment and its creatures. This is just chapter 1 of Raiment of White. Our first collection                                 includes three timeless wedding gowns that can be cherished long after your vows. Each gown features delicate embroidered details all done using a free-hand embroidery technique. All of the dresses are made by me in my Northern Canadian studio, and I work together with my true love, my little dog Norman, and canary Sebastian who graces us with his masterful songs.

Affordable, eco-friendly and ready to wear...Cambridge Vintage Bridal curates and sells original, vintage wedding dresses.

Our collection is completely unique and in a ready to wear condition, having had minor repair work done and any overt damage, markings and stains carefully removed. Our philosophy is that everyone deserves to experience a dress of unique beauty and our mission is to ensure that we bring you the very best in class when it comes to original vintage wedding dresses. With a proven understanding of creating moments that matter and telling stories, Siobhan believes that a one of a kind wedding dress is a treasured find and a pivotal chapter of YOUR story - and she wants to help you find it.

Any minor damages are covered (please, no red velvet cake fights) and after you’re done, just ship it back to us and we’ll clean and preserve it for the next savvy bride! We know that after your wedding there is really no use for your tiara (unless you’re Kate Middleton), and that most of us don’t have the space to store yards of tulle and crystal baubles.   We’re modern women who love fashion and aspire to wear gorgeous things on our special day.

Passion for sustainable fashion

Laura Hyvi Bridal was born when the designer and founder of the company Laura Hyvi was designing her own wedding gown and searching for sustainable material alternatives. After discovering the world of vintage lace she immediately fell in love and it was clear to her that she wanted to create similar dresses to other conscious brides. The company is determined to offer sustainable wedding gown options and serve brides who want to make ethical and ecological choices without compromising style. 

The Designer

Laura Hyvi is a wedding dress designer whose never ending source of inspiration is vintage lace. “Every piece of vintage lace has it’s own story and the patterns and textures are one of a kind. Using vintage lace as our material we are able to create dresses that are work of art and reflect the brides personal style.”

Laura’s principle is creating fashion that is ecological and ethical. She mixes bohemian vintage lace to modern and elegant silhouettes.

Indiebride London takes pride in being a sustainable bridal wear brand. It is important for us to not just create beautiful bohemian wedding dresses but also to take our nature’s wellbeing in consideration. The most important dress of your life can be made respecting the environment and people on it. At Indiebride London, you will know who made your wedding dress and where the materials came from. All our dresses are made to order. This means we don’t hold any dresses in stock. When an order is placed, we will make the dress from scratch. This means we only make a dress when someone wants to wear it on their wedding day. This ensures that every dress we make has a personal connection. At Indiebride London, you work closely with the person that makes your dress. Instead of producing the dresses in a factory somewhere else, we make all our dresses ourselves from the first cut to the last finishings. Each dress and accessory is hand crafted and hand embellished in our London studio using the highest quality laces and silks. When we receive an order, we then order the right materials for that specific dress only. When we receive the materials, we cut the dress and then sew it together. We also make the alterations ourselves if any is needed. We value the handmade nature and quality of our products. Our dresses and accessories have a story behind them.

Luna helps make fairytales come alive in beautiful ethical handmade wedding dresses for the modern bride. Using luxurious natural and organic materials and stylish design, the Luna look combines elegance with comfort, opulence with simplicity, and tradition with fashion. Gorgeous fabrics are personally selected from world-loving sources that ensures a conscious-free mind and an awe-inspiring body.

For the optimum feel and look on the ultimate day, choose from Luna bridal, Luna bridesmaid and let us make your dream dress come true. Each and everyone one of our gowns are handmade with love here in Britain. 

We want every part of our dress to be made ethically, therefore we do a lot of research to find the best fabric producers. We use Organic GOTS Peace Silk which does not harm the moth that made it. We use organic cotton lace as well as recycled fabrics and end of line fabrics.  

We don't throw away any of our off cut fabrics. We either recycle them or use them to make lingerie.

Our business cards and flyers are recycled and we aim to work in a green way in our studio.

One of a kind, fibre art homewares and jewellery,
handmade sustainably with natural dyes for you and your home.

At the core of each and every MELO handmades' item is a passion for slow-creating and the desire to capture beauty. Often taking several days from start to finish, each piece of tapestry, jewellery and accessory is delicate and feminine, perfect for those who appreciate timeless elegance and fine quality. 

Originally from Singapore, MELO handmades is now based in Sydney, where every piece of tapestry, jewellery and accessory is lovingly handcrafted in my home studio. The fibre art technique of nuno-felting bonds high-quality merino wool fibres with fabrics, creating a base canvas for each item to be built upon. Splashes of colour are added with natural dye pigments, extracted from dye stuffs with hot water. Embellishments, ranging from beads and sequins to lace and hand-wound tassels, are hand-stitched one by one, before finishing each piece with the finest findings.

Stemming from the love of nature, MELO handmades also aims to respect Mother Earth in the best possible way. Natural materials are used as much as possible while careful planning and working in small batches minimise the waste created. Gift boxes are also made from recycled material while other packaging items such as ribbons and mailing pouches can be easily reused or recycled.

Along with the curated collection available online, MELO handmades also welcomes commissions and customisations, working closely with you every step of the way to create bespoke pieces for your special occasion.

Studio Pia - Luxury lingerie with a conscience.

Designed by Pia Conaghan, and ethically crafted in the UK, with a focus on fashion-led, creative design, and sustainable materials. 

Every garment is designed to be ultra flattering on a range of body types, achieved through expert use of sexy, yet supportive cuts, light body-shaping elements, and adjustable sections, allowing for a personalised fit.
Designs take reference from the world of fine art and couture, where rich colours and textures meet striking shapes, with the finest construction and craftsmanship.
The debut collection draws inspiration from the work of artist Henri Rousseau, and translates his iconic jungle concept into an intricate, bespoke French embroidery, seemingly applied directly to the flesh.
Each of the three distinct ranges combines these unique embroideries with luxurious, ethical, ‘peace’ silk, and is perfectly finished with 24 carat gold adorned hardware.

We are proudly dedicated to building a more sustainable fashion future

A note from the designer: I am a recent graduate from Massachusetts College of Art + Design. I have a BFA in Fashion Design. I work hard to create clothing sustainably repurposing fabrics + reworking garments. Using materials already in existence to create modern + trendy clothing is my number one initiative. Thank you so much for visiting my shop. 

I sew exclusive clothes from natural fabrics.

My love for sewing and beautiful things grew from a hobby to a profession. Every day I start and finish in my cozy little workshop. Inspiration comes to me from the surrounding nature. That's why I prefer natural materials. Linen and cotton fabrics are so nice to hold in your hands. And how delightful the dresses made of them!
I used to do everything alone. But over the years, I realized that to do all the work alone is simply impossible. And now I have reliable assistants that I trust crochet, embroidery and some sewing steps.
Every woman is unique and beautiful. And she must have a beautiful dress, I'm sure!

A little background...

I've always had a fascination with all things old. As a kid you could often find me rummaging through my grandmother's closet begging her not to get rid of anything. It's a well known fact in my family that you "MUST ask Courtney!" before throwing anything out. Thankfully my interest in old things has become a little more fine tuned and I haven't turn into a hoarder!...yet

Vivian Elise Vintage all started with one sad looking dress. Then there was a spark, a lot of research, hard work, and out of nowhere I found my passion. There's just something about finding a dress that most people would overlook and restoring it back to it's former beauty!

I'm happy to have finally found my niche and lucky to get to use my love of art, photography, and new found sewing skills all at the same time! 

I'm dedicated to finding only the best and most unique vintage around. All my gowns are cleaned, restored, as well as redesigned and updated for the modern bride. 

So here's to all thing glorious and vintage. Cheers.

Garments designed around the person and their needs. A natural, comfortable piece, that will feel like a second skin.

We develop our designs following a zero waste logic, with patterns that take full advantage of the size of the piece of cloth chosen, with minimal fabric waste. With our scraps we create some of our favorite designs, giving life to modern and unexpected pieces that have a unique kind of beauty.
