Amour Vert
Amour Vert are a women’s contemporary eco brand, who believe you shouldn’t have to sacrifice style for sustainability. With a fashion first perspective, the brand employs a zero waste design philosophy, while using organic and sustainable fabrics with low impact dyes. The lifestyle brand combines Parisian chic with California casual, to produce a sophisticated, yet laid back collection that can take you from day to night, and utilitarian to dressy, all with an undeniably French aesthetic.
The husband and wife team of Christoph Frehsee and Linda Balti bring a fresh, youthful take on sustainable fashion, with the intent of filling a void in the marketplace beyond basics. Their knowledge of the scale of waste the fashion industry produces, spurred them to work with left over fabrics and their zero waste policy. The collection is entirely produced in San Francisco, California from a range of sustainable fibers and fabrics, including pure silk, Tencel and Modal from wood pulp, pure linen, organic cotton and recycled polyester.
For every T-shirt sold from Amour Vert’s T(r)EE collection, they plant a tree in America, through thier partnership with American Forests, marking each participating garment with a small gold rivet. As the brand work with Tencel and Modal, both produced from wood pulp, this is their way of giving back.
