About Us

THE FATH COLLECTIVE is a circular, slow fashion wedding group, led by creative director, VANESSA FATH. We embody creative reuse & the art of storytelling for the ethereal, empathetic bride.

Through redesigning cherished garments, upcycling deadstock, & styling with vintage accessories, we breathe new life into heirloom pieces and honor the stories they hold. Always handmade, our custom pieces & collections are crafted from reclaimed materials, embracing circular design strategies and sustainability.

Our brand is a celebration of memories, craftsmanship, & love that is stitched into every piece. As a sister-owned & operated business, we proudly carry the legacy of three generations into THE FATH COLLECTIVE.
