Rasaleela Clothing
Did someone say #bohowedding? Rasaleela Clothing has the perfect selection of free-spirited, bohemian-printed dresses for that Pinterest-worthy occasion! Rasaleela Clothing was started in 2002 by Trish Louey after she returned from living and studying in India for several years. Upon returning Trish noticed there was a gap in high quality unique vintage and ethnic inspired clothing. Trish only works with family based companies that offer safe working conditions for their workers and good pay with No sweatshop conditions and No child workers. Rasaleela also gives back to the local Rajasthan community through their support of the Fior di Loto Foundation.
Rasaleela's "Nina" dress (pictured above) has been a favourite style season after season. Available in mid or maxi length, Nina is perfect for a beach wedding on her own or style with Swedish Stockings Liv Net Tights and a pair of heels to add some sophistication.
Violet Fish
Another darling of the bohemian fashion scene, Violet Fish, is also Australian designed and ethically made and with their irresistibly romantic offerings, you couldn't hope for more fitting Spring Wedding attire! The story of Violet Fish is a delightful one beginning with a Grandmother, skilled in embroidery, passing down her passion for creating beautiful garments, which today is kept alive by sisters Jill and Eleanor and their team. Sustainability and ethical production are also at the forefront of their vision:
"We try to tread lightly on the earth and wherever possible source organic and sustainable fabrics. We have had the same makers throughout the whole journey and these amazing people have become our friends. We regularly visit the factories and a policy of complete transparency has always been in place."
Keep your feet comfortable and protected, while letting Violet Fish's exquisite prints take the limelight with Swedish Stockings Ida Premium Steps. These no-show sockettes are not only made from 100% recycled polyamide, but also provide the perfect non-slip fit.
Bianca Spender
If you're looking to the higher end of Australian fashion for that more formal wedding occasion, don't despair there- there are ethical options available! Bianca Spender is a great example of a prominently recognised designer with accreditation from Ethical Clothing Australia. Bianca pays attention to her fabric’s origins, and chooses predominantly natural fibers and faux leather. All design, development and production is overseen within Australia, employing a large local workforce.
