Be the Change. At Janay A Handmade, that value carries through to our daily work of dressing brides in sustainable wedding dresses.
We tread lightly. No huge carbon footprint here. All of our products are sewn in-house. We strive to be “Green” in all ways possible: we use the most beautiful vintage and organic materials we can find, we breathe new life into heirloom materials for the most creative recycling we can conjure, and we have an ongoing commitment to reusing our packaging and boxes.
Our Eco Materials:
We work hard to source quality, ethical materials for each item.
Our current favorite fabrics are:
Silk Hemp blend, with a luxurious velvety hand and both a satin and a matte side.
Double sides provide versatility in your design- choose the matte side for a casual/rustic feel or satin for a formal/glam vibe).
We can hand-dye the Silk Hemp with Tea to bring it to a rich champagne tone.
Light-weight, Certified Organic Cotton Voile. It’s nature’s answer to make your dress light and flowey.
Medium-weight Cotton Sateen. This matte-finish cotton makes natural, fuss-free gowns
Swatches available of any of our fabrics by request.
Because of the energy it requires to convert bamboo to fabric, we avoid it and prefer to use organic cottons whenever possible.
