Sustainability
Deadstock & Remnant Fabrics
We partner with FABSCRAP, a NYC-based nonprofit that diverts textile waste from landfills. Many of our pieces are crafted from deadstock and remnant fabrics — beautiful materials that would otherwise be discarded. This means some pieces are truly limited edition, determined by the fabrics available.
Local Production
Every FERN piece is handmade in our New York City atelier. By keeping production local, we reduce our carbon footprint, support our community, and maintain complete oversight of quality and working conditions.
Small-Batch Manufacturing
We produce in small batches — never mass quantities. This minimizes waste and ensures every piece meets our standards. Made-to-order items are produced only when purchased, eliminating overstock entirely.
Built to Last
Our pieces are designed for alterations and repairs, not replacement. Clients regularly return for adjustments as their bodies change, extending the life of each garment. Couture construction techniques ensure durability alongside beauty.
Recycled Packaging
All FERN orders ship in recycled and recyclable packaging. We use minimal packaging materials and avoid plastic wherever possible.
