Whilst we find ourselves thrifting for clothing, bags and jewellery, there’s one thing we can’t buy secondhand: underwear. Sustainable fashion has come a long way, but it feels like now more than ever that people are taking it one step further when it comes to curating our closets environmentally friendly way, and building an eco-conscious wardrobe from the inside out (literally).
When it comes to our intimates, we are, without a doubt, always on the hunt for those extra comfortable fabrics to make us not only feel good but confident, and the sustainability factor shouldn’t be overlooked. From brands that use recycled and organic materials to brands that created collections made from surplus fabric, below, six of our favourite sustainable lingerie brands.
1. Heist Studios
