Our Core Values
At VANESSA FATH, our mission is to provide an experience that celebrates and honors your love in a way that will last multiple lifetimes—physically, tangibly, and emotionally.
Sustainability is a term often misunderstood, commonly associated with only environmentalism. While it focuses on environmental impact, true sustainability addresses three pieces holistically through a business: people, planet and prosperity. It is about maintaining a balance that preserves materials, energy, and emotional connections over time. Weddings, for instance, symbolize the love and life couples wish to sustain, emphasizing the importance of meaningfully-made, slow fashion in this special milestone.
Social sustainability is about valuing the stories and experiences of the people we work with. Through fostering emotional connections with our clients, we are able to create with you, not just for you. Every piece is made with your story and needs at the heart of it. In reusing your heirlooms — from tablecloths, to suits, to dresses — we value the relationships you have and the legacies you are continuing. We aim to build an environment that brings joy to the process, ensuring that the final result continues to bring happiness into the future.
People
We prioritize environmental sustainability with a focus to keep materials in use for as long as possible. This goes beyond just preventing waste; it involves sourcing ethically, using vintage or deadstock fabrics, and integrating heirloom garments that would otherwise go unused. All products are made in-house to reduce carbon emissions and ensure quality work so you can treasure your pieces for years to come. By transforming potential waste into timeless designs, we contribute to more circular systems while celebrating the beauty of these materials.
Planet
Each garment is customized to your preferences, allowing them to be size-adjusted or converted into different styles for multiple occasions. We design products with longevity and versatility so that, like perfume, you can re-wear the pieces from your special day to reminisce the beautiful memories you created while you make more.
Product
Our approach to economic sustainability is seen through ethical business practices. We prioritize sourcing and working with local artists to reduce our global footprint and give back to the community. By employing recently graduated students, VANESSA FATH assists young artists with guidance, experience, and pay. We prioritize the well-being of our team, offering flexible schedules and access to advanced design tools that empower creativity and collaboration. Our goal in every work day is to sustain life rather than consume it, ensuring that we’ll be a long-lasting and strong-standing business.
