AMUR

The fashion brand known as AMUR is created right in the heart of New York City. It was born from the concept that great style does not have to come at the expense of our environment and that design can strike a balance between beauty and good intentions. “It’s an approach that’s woven into our very name: A Mindful Use of Resources.” The brand uses eco-friendly textiles like GOTS-certified organic cotton and silk, Cupro (a yarn made from a part of the cotton plant usually wasted in production) and regenerated fibers. They also seek out mills and artisans that employ sustainable techniques. You’ll find luxurious fashion in bright colors and an array of fun florals that you can shop online. From dresses and jumpsuits to crop tops and more, you’ll want to wear it all! 

Flor et.al 

New “cool girl” brand Flor et.al is making a name for themselves. Also created in New York City, this contemporary eveningwear collection collaborates with artisans around the world, such as small artisans in India to create the hand beaded floral designs. They’ve taken a step in sustainability as they have partnered with NEST, a non-profit that connects artisans and designers all over the globe. Their designs are exactly what you picture when you think high fashion. This is the destination for your next special event.

Gabriela Hearst

Designer Gabriela Hearst’s commitment is to make a strong and modern collection without compromising her ethics and key values, taking into consideration where materials come from and who is making them: luxury with a conscience or in other words, “honest luxury”. The wool in the collections is taken from her own family ranch in Uruguay, meaning she can follow the wool from the animal, right to the garment. Also, this brand will become the first to have all plastic packaging replaced with TIPA packaging, which biodegrades and composts within 180 days. Take a look at the designs for yourself, you will see it’s the face of luxurious.

DÔEN

DÔEN was created by a group of creative women in Los Angeles, California. The line is inspired by vintage designs and their “nostalgia for the California of past decades.” The brand commits to domestic production and the garments that are stitched overseas, manufacturers are carefully selected to ensure fair wages and working conditions. Majority of the pieces are made by hand and with natural fabrics. Fun fact, each year DÔEN designs a children’s’ collection and one hundred percent of the proceeds go to “Room to Read.” Don’t miss out any further and go right ahead to shopping this dreamy collection! 

TOME

Tome is an ethical clothing line marketing themselves with the slogan “#EVERYWOMAN inspired by Art #madebywomen.” Another brand based in New York, TOME is clean cut and the pieces are for essential dressing. Each piece is ethically produced, with a view toward inclusivity and diversity. Sustainability is key at Tome and they reveal this by using natural dyes formulated with temple flowers found throughout India, and, as of lately, incorporating organic hemp, cotton, and linens into its collection. Another neat detail is that the tassels featured on several of the clothing pieces were made by refugee women who have resettled in Texas.

Irwin Garden is very passionate about standing behind every step of the manufacturing process of their clothing. They are proud to be made locally and by manufacturing right in the garment district of New York City, they can oversee the cutting and sewing of the collection, as well as continue to support the skilled workers and businesses in the garment district. Irwin Garden’s collections are designed with a focus to celebrate femininity and a return to timeless pieces.

Eleven Six

Let me now introduce you to Eleven Six, an effortless, yet elevated approach to knit dressing.
