HERD Trunk Show with Founder Ruth Alice Rands (JAN 2026)

TOXYFREE invites the community to spend a meaningful day with HERD designer and founder Ruth Alice Rands during this special in-store trunk show. Throughout the day, guests are welcome to stop in, explore HERD’s thoughtfully crafted, plant-dyed clothing, and receive personal guidance on fit, care, and selecting pieces that align with their lifestyle. Ruth will be onsite to share the story behind HERD’s farm-to-closet approach, offering insight into the natural fibers, dye plants, and ethical craftsmanship behind each garment.

Beginning at 5 PM, the event transitions into an inspiring evening gathering with special guest Elizabeth Ries, who will join Ruth in trying on pieces, meeting attendees, and helping style garments in a relaxed, conversational setting. Whether you attend during the day, the evening, or both, this trunk show offers a rare opportunity to connect directly with the designer and experience sustainable fashion in a personal, approachable way.
