Judy Black is an environmentally aware ethically based company, which is owned and operated by two sisters. Valerie deals with all business practices, marketing and sales so Jen is free to concentrate on her abilities as sole designer. Together they have joined forces to create a socially responsible company, which operates with the natural world as the main inspiration. Judy Black only uses safe, natural, and recycled fabrics and everything made is hand printed &quot;in house&quot; using water-based inks, creating a product that is original, beautiful and responsible. This gives each individual the opportunity to make an ethical choice and look good while doing it!
