Hazel & Rose is about recognizing that what you wear matters. How it was made, and who made it, matters. Quality matters. Beauty matters. It’s not just about buying sustainable and ethical fashion because you should. It’s about buying sustainable and ethical because you want to.

Ethically made. No one should have to give up their life to make clothes. The individuals who made the goods sold at Hazel & Rose were paid a fair and living wage.
Hackwith Design House – http://hackwithdesignhouse.com
Hackwith Design House started with the goal of making clothing as unique as the wearer. In September 2013, we launched with one limited-edition design, and each Monday that fall we posted one new design, no more than 25 of each. We’ve grown to include a Core Collection, Swim, Basics, and Plus, as well as a new limited-edition design on Mondays, and we still strive to make every piece special, with the unique women who wear them in mind. Everything is made in-house in our Minnesota studio by our talented team of seamstresses. To reduce waste, most of our items are not made until ordered by you. HDH’s simple and clean aesthetic, quality fabrics, and impeccable attention to detail have made it a favorite of style-conscious women around the world.
Haute Trash – http://www.hautetrash.org
Haute Trash is a non-profit 501c3 Artists Collaborative based in Nevada City, California. Since our first show in 1986, we’ve spent the last three decades engaging eco-conscious fashion designers and models. With over a dozen designers, we seek to inspire people of all ages to transform their use of resources, such that our planetary impact actually improves life on all levels for all living creatures, and there is no longer a need for environmental activism. It’s our hope that our audience will never look at their trash in the same way. As all people begin to view trash with less tolerance, we gain the power to create a world in which more consumer items are designed to be waste free.
