Who We Are

When we wear clothes that honor both our individual spirit and our earth's wellbeing, something magical happens - we feel more connected to ourselves and our planet. Holding Court pieces blend dreamy cosmic inspiration with mindful creation, making it natural to express your authentic self while caring for Mother Earth.

Every piece is made-to-order, reducing waste while ensuring high-quality, ethically-produced fashion. This is the new era of eco conscious clothes.

Why choose sustainable fashion?

Because when you wear clothes that honor both your spirit and the environment, you become part of something bigger. Our organic, non-toxic, and recycled materials ensure that your style choices protect the planet's resources for future generations.

We're not just a fashion brand - we're a movement that believes looking good and doing good can go hand in hand. From seed to skin, we're committed to transparency, integrity, and creating beautiful pieces that make you feel connected to yourself and our Earth.

From Stardust to Sustainable - Holding Court with Mother Earth

Beauty isn't always skin deep. True beauty is when your  outer beauty reflects your inner beauty. ❤️
Prime summer feels 🌞 💋 🌊
I don't know who needs to hear this but, you need to try.  Try to be a better version of yourself.  Try to better care of others.  Try to be a better steward of the earth.  Every day there are a billion acts of kindness.  You can be a part of that movement, that feeling.  It is time to try.

There's something profoundly magical about the natural dyeing process—watching colors emerge from plants, roots, flowers, and minerals that have been used to color textiles for thousands of years. Natural dyeing isn't just a technique; it's a conversation with the earth, a dance with time, and a surrender to the unpredictable beauty of nature.

In choosing natural dyes, we're not just making an aesthetic choice—we're making a health choice, an environmental choice, and a philosophical one. We're choosing to value processes that nourish rather than deplete, that reveal rather than obscure, and that connect rather than alienate.

The book tour for @refashionworkshop has taught me that we are years away from making a significant difference in the toxicity of fabrics and inhumane treatment of garment workers.  The good news is I see the fire sparking, and I'll continue to do my part to feed it.  Thank you for everyone who has come out to support me on the journey! Seriously I owe it all to you guys ❤️ I'm just an amplifier 😘 - meanwhile seeing old friends in LA touched my heart and reminded me I have many homes in many places. Love you

Sold out in Tulum, the black shibori bikini is a show stopper! Made of certified upcycled fabric, you both get a new lease on life. 💫
Kicking off this tour with the people in the town that raised me.  You never forget your roots.  It happened to be a morning with two events happening at once, a women's writing club and my first book signing for @RefashionWorkshop. It became a moment to talk about the writing process itself, and what pushes you to take your passion past the finish line. Endurance, suspending your expectations and complete belief in what you are doing is a solid start.  And then you keep going. In my case, even having the conversations bring me satisfaction. ❤️ @SanMarcoBookstore
“Refashion Workshop is an important book for our time as we look at what we might wear in a post petroleum future.”

Do you know how your favorite brand ranks? I am talking about if they pay their workers living wage and if they use materials that don't have harmful chemicals.  It's possible to look it up, but the question is do you really wanna know?  Find out with fashion workshop.
The Truth Is, with rising temperatures, agriculture fails, animals go extinct, and weather becomes more violent. Our unchecked desire for things fuels the suffering of all life forms. It's time to open our hearts and recognize our personal impact. Let's change habit and reduce our footprint for our own happiness, and the happiness of the planet.
