We are a sustainable collective, marketplace, and concept closet connecting sustainably and ethically conscious designers with our communities. Guided by our sustainable values from our home in Brooklyn, New York, our mission is to reduce the fashion industry’s environmental footprint, promote ethical manufacturing, and drive responsible consumption and use. Our hope is that one day sustainable fashion will just be fashion

LAUDE the Label began as one woman’s way of doing her part to end family separation due to the economic insecurity facing women all across the world. Founder, Carly Burson, put her years of fashion-industry experience to work, designing goods that would help makers in artisan communities access the global marketplace and create sustainability where there had been vulnerability and insecurity. What began as a group of eight women in 2014 has grown to a worldwide community of over 280 artisans. Though we have grown, we have always prioritized the quality, health & sustainability of our partnerships over the quantity of them. Carly’s vision for minimalist designs in high quality, eco-friendly materials that can be worn for years has remained central to LAUDE the Label's design philosophy from the beginning. Each year, new efforts in environmental consciousness and new strides in holistic employment of women across the world bring us closer toward our vision of honoring the earth & maker equally to the consumer.
