What makes your Loulette gown sustainable and eco-friendly?
Loulette Bride is founded on principles of sustainability. We are committed to always being responsible, transparent, and ethical when creating your sustainable wedding dress.
Our values are the inspiration behind our creation. It is our goal to craft the most beautiful, ethical bridal gowns with the least impact on our environment, and the most positive impact on our community.
How is our manufacturing process sustainable?
All gowns are made to order, which eliminates excess inventory.
We design and pattern our garments to create as little waste as possible.
We make everything in our Brooklyn studio, which eliminates excessive shipping, minimizes carbon impact, ensures that our quality is top notch, and that our labor is always fair and ethical.
All our shipping is carbon neutral, and completely plastic-free, or packed with reused plastics from other sources.
Our garment bags are biodegradable.
What materials do we use, and what do we do with any waste?
We use recycled poly lining, and natural fiber fabrics like cotton, silk, hemp, linen, and wool.
All fabric scraps are recycled with Fab Scrap.
All paper products are printed on recycled papers, or papers made from reclaimed fibers from the garment industry.
All paper waste is recycled and repurposed, and all plastic film is recycled.
We do not use leather, feather, fur, or any animal skins.
Community
For every dress sold, a tree in planted in that bride’s name with One Tree Planted.
Each season, we pick a new charity to donate a portion of our sales. We have partnered with Sunrise Movement, The Bee Conservancy, Pretty Brown Girls, The Lower East Side Girls Club, Women for Afghan Women, NYC Health and Hospitals, Fund Texas Choice, and more.
We launched the West Street Wedding Collective Mentorship Program: A free program for students of color to work on their creative endeavors with local experts.
There is a lot of greenwashing out there in the fashion world. But, if a brand is truly eco-friendly, they will tell you exactly how, where, and from what their products are made.
We are proud to be a sustainable brand you can trust, and we welcome any suggestions and input to further our mission of being as sustainable as possible.
