When it comes to shopping, underwear is one of the pieces we don't buy second-hand. The reason for this is simple, but we all wear them and need to replace them occasionally. Knowing which brands are making an effort in lowering their environmental footprint, and ensuring top quality while avoiding any chemicals getting absorbed into our skin is essential in reaching better decisions.
In this post, you will find a handful of lingerie that’s ethically and sustainably produced, and at the same time beautifully made for the conscious woman in mind. This includes pieces that are made in limited runs from end-roll and scrap fabrics, hand-dyed and eco-friendly materials such as organic cotton, bamboo, and silk. Look for certifications like the OEKO-TEX 100 and GOTS to ensure genuine and authentic practices within the business.
