Fashion Without a face

Gavin Vaughan

This is a wonderful story of a brand set to launch at the Vegan Fashion Week in the Spring in LA but had to change plans due to Covid, and ended up doing everything a bit differently. We love this story because it proves that even in obscure times, a good idea can be born and thrive. We find the creator of the brand Fashion Without a Face, Scott Joseph, celebrating their first department store deal, literally 6 months after they launched the brand’s e-commerce, of which Scott talked us through the bumpy journey:

Since launching our website for sales this summer, we have been going from strength to strength. We gained global sales with our first piece in this collection, the ‘M’ bag and we sold out of one colour in our first month. After the successful launch of our ‘M’ bag, I decided to go ahead and launch our second piece in the collection, which is our Card Holder and we have had global sales come in again.

BIO

Our owner & founder Scott Joseph, created the Fashion Without a Face brand with Fiance Peter in 2016, after making the conscious decision to become more aware of how and where they shopped. Working in the fashion industry for over 20 years and, more recently, educating himself on how certain sectors of the industry create their products, Scott decided to put his experience, along with his passion for sustainability and Peters industry knowledge and experience to use in the right way. This resulted in the creation of our first collection using one of the most sustainable materials on the planet.

We make all of our stylish & timeless designs from TREES! Yep, that’s right, our leathers are made from oak. Their bark is farmed once every nine years when the oak tree is in a greater state of growth, meaning that the tree doesn’t get cut down, it gets to restore itself, bigger and stronger.

Some of the trees in the farms where our leathers are sourced are more than 100 years old! Ramiro, who owns the ranch says, his trees are as important to him and as loved as his children.

Once our materials reach our manufacturer in Italy, Monika and her team then lovingly put them together by hand, along with sustainably sourced metalware and linings made from recycled plastic materials.

It has also been incredibly important to our owner & founder, that our collections be suitable for any gender, FOREVER!
