Nicole Bridger

Nicole Bridger was founded on the belief that fashion doesn't have to sacrifice a commitment to the environment. In order to create the best possible product, Nicole Bridger uses the finest ethically-sourced materials and dyes. We go to great lengths to track where our fabrics originate, and ensure that their production processes are both sustainab... le and socially conscious. Nicole Bridger sources renewable and, in many cases, biodegradable fabrics from all over the world, including wool made in a GOTS certified factory in India, organic cotton woven in Portugal and linen grown in Belgium.

Our labels use cotton instead of polyester, and our hangtags are made entirely of 100% post-consumer paper. Almost every Nicole Bridger piece can be washed at home, eliminating the expense and harsh chemicals used in dry cleaning.

During the store's construction, the crew took measurable steps to reduce their carbon footprint. Lime plaster was used to re-finish the existing walls. Lime Plaster can be recycled, reused and also is ...Read More
