The fashion industry produces 10% of global carbon emissions.
We think that's worth saying plainly.
It is also responsible for 20% of global wastewater, significant chemical pollution, and labour conditions that would be unacceptable in most other industries.
None of this is hidden. It is simply not discussed as loudly as the next collection.
We are not a solution to all of that. But we are a deliberate response to it — built one stocked brand, one purchased piece at a time.

Conviction is more interesting when it's shared.
Votive is run by people who came to sustainable fashion from different directions — some through environmental concern, some through a frustration with disposability, some simply through a love of things made well.
elena marrow
Creative Direction
Believes clothing should age with character, not trend cycles. Collects photography books and rewears the same black coat every winter.
Samuel Reed
Materials & Sourcing
Came to sustainable fashion through industrial design and a frustration with waste disguised as convenience.
Noor Vidal
Branding & Editorial
Interested in how visual culture shapes consumption. Thinks restraint is often more expressive than excess.
Aiko Mori
Product Development
Drawn to garments that feel lived in from the beginning. Focused on texture, longevity, and tactile detail.
What we share is a belief that how we dress is not incidental to how we live.
