Sexy Sustainable Lingerie Lust – The Fierce Edit

Scratchy hemp undies? Basic organic cotton bras? Nope! There’s more sexy sustainable lingerie available than you’d think!

By Chantal Brocca

Think sustainable lingerie means an organic cotton bra and panties that sag on your butt after one wash? Think again. Ethical lingerie is getting sexier – far, far sexier! Vintage lace, peace silk, recycled elastics and a whole lot of sass are the main ingredients, while styles involve keyhole cuts, ‘undo me NOW’ ribbons, cheeky pussy prints and even some couture-worthy embroidery.

And the craftsmanship? We’re talking ultra-luxury here. Peace silks cut into vintage knickers. Recycled fibres and handmade lace delicately revealing sensual details. Basically, these are fabrics you’ll want to smush against your skin. And his!

Forget those sweet ‘n’ innocent bralets and eco-friendly organic cotton pants you wouldn’t even want to be seen wearing in the gym locker room – these sexy sustainable lingerie labels are super-fitting, super-luscious and super-fierce.

This ethical intimates brand also has a sustainable focus by acknowledging its environmental impact and acting on it.

9. Olly Lingerie

There are two ways to do transparency. And while we’re pretty acquainted with one, the other always seems to come as a happy surprise. Pesticide free organic cottons, Oeko-Tex certified dyes, and extra care to stay away from nasty hormone upsetting textiles that somehow still find their way into our clothes are only some of the key features that make Olly Lingerie great.

This is sexy sustainable lingerie at its best. Classic and comfortable enough to wear every day, but with gorgeous tiny details. Think: delicate lace under here, an unusual pattern there. They all make an ultra feminine statement.

Hands up if you’re a fan of Gina Rodriguez, star of Jane the Virgin? Personally, I love that show, and even more so now that I know Gina is one of the co-founders of this brand.

Collections offer fun and vibrant digitally printed underwear teamed with lacy bralettes, whilst paying careful attention to bring water pollution almost down to zero.

12. Daniela Paradeis

Bondage harnesses, vegan leather finishings, bullet bras and slits that leave little to the imagination. This ethical, vegan lingerie label gets straight to the point!
