OUR BRAND

DELIKATE RAYNE is innovation incarnate. It rejects all that is typical and mundane, and disposes of boundaries in favor of a cruelty-free future lived now.  Delikate Rayne embodies the perfect blend of minimalism and effortless cool resulting in clean, understated glamour. It is a nonchalant sophistication, the glittered regalia of women unfettered by their own mystique. The brand is spun in the spirit of the captivating wildcat temptress; the mold-breaking, unapologetic femininity of that woman you think you know, but really don't. Daring timeless silhouettes, asymmetrical cuts, cruelty-free textiles and a host of other apparent contradictions celebrate Delikate Rayne's unwillingness to conform to expectation. The line stresses the power of individuality and sustainability, its pieces serve as a vehicle to express the natural allure of the unfiltered, worldly female. She who does not compromise her style for her beliefs. "Style isn't worn, it is embodied. A garment is only fashion forward when the right girl makes it her own. The only woman you can be is yourself."

 

 

CRAFTSMANSHIP

All of our products are crafted carefully and conscientiously in the U.S.A.  We work with local skilled artisans who construct our garments utilizing special seams and stitches reminiscent of fine European tailoring whenever possible. The manufacturing company that we work with is family owned and operated ensuring that clean and safe working conditions, fair wages and respect is given to all employees. 

 

QUALITY  

We believe in quality over quantity and therefore the majority of our products are made in limited quantities to minimize excess wastage of fabric that unnecessarily fills up landfills . This plays a role in our efforts to lower carbon emissions. The whole concept of fast fashion is killing our planet and encourages extremely unfair and illegal factory processes-if we all continue to fuel this beast it only grows bigger. We want to create an awareness and educate consumers so they can make better decisions. All of these factors are a part of our continual pledge to provide only the highest caliber of animal friendly fashion while forgoing fast fashion practices. 

 

ADVOCACY

There are many causes that are close to our hearts that need our help and yours too. Our planet and many of the animals that live here are disappearing at an alarming rate. We strongly encourage everyone to donate directly to the initiatives of their choice. As we continue to grow as a company, our goal is to donate a portion of sales from every single Delikate Rayne product sold. We will be donating to both wildlife and environmental conservation projects. At the moment we are working on some very promising and dynamic collaborations that will aid in bringing more awareness and relief to these important issues.

 

TEXTILES AND ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT

DELIKATE RAYNE strives to continually uncover and exert inventive cruelty-free and sustainable textiles to create pieces that change the pre-conceived ideas of what animal-free garments look like. Delikate Rayne is completely against the exploitation of animals and animal cruelty. Which is why all of our garments are constructed using premium vegan materials without compromising style. Our carefully selected and sourced vegan leather is eco-friendly and PVC free. Instead we use a combination of plant derived fabrications and sustainable PU (polyurethane) comprised of recycled and/or deadstock materials which is a much safer alternative not only for humans, but the environment as well. PU does not contain the severe and harmful chemicals that PVC embodies. Our no animals harmed leather also has ten times less of an environmental impact compared to traditional leather. It adheres to the EPA guidelines and passes all appropriate tests making it a part of the SMM range as well. Recycled Polyurethane is a greener alternative to both leather and PVC while creating our pieces and in the care of our garments. In addition, our vegan leather has at least three times less the impact compared to standard PVC. PU treated without the chemical toxins is also a much more stable and secure way of decreasing carbon emissions that lead to overall global warming.
