Eco-Clothing Print
At this point you are probably wondering, what on earth did the bride and groom wear?  What kind of clothing is available for bride’s and grooms that is ‘eco’?  We are in the process of starting a company called “Organic Leather”.  We did an eco-fashion show almost one year ago to the date of the wedding to introduce the concept of leather that is tanned organically and is from animals that have been treated humanely and fed organically.  The final piece was a wedding dress made from buckskin tanned by Matt Richards of Traditional Tanners and was sewn by a leatherworker in LA where the show took place.  This is what the bride decided to wear.   Not only was it ‘eco’ but it was re-used.  It was the most amazing dress she could have decided to wear.

The groom had a little more trouble finding men’s eco clothes and we have to admit that this is where we were challenged.  We had a beautiful vest made for the groom out of the Organic Leather buckskin by another local artist in Fairfax, CA, Jonathan’s Leather Craft .  We managed to find him a pair of pants in a local shop, but the dress shirt was from a large retailer.  When we looked at all of the purchases we had made thus far, we figured one small chunk of change that did not stay local was ok considering that everything else was purchased locally and mostly organic.
