Fair Trade Designers: Greenknickers

Greenknickers is based in England with a motto of “100% Fair Trade, 100% Organic, 100% Gorgeous”. Greenknickers is not simply a nod towards eco-friendly lingerie, they are committed to their cause including:

• Recyling
• Responsible Dyeing
• Promoting Cold Washing
• Local Producers
• Bike Transportation
• Sustainable Fabrics
• Fair Trade Certification
• Promoting People First

Putting mass produced lingerie lines to shame, the partnership have established a green and fair supply chain for their specialist underwear. Allocating the sewing task to a women’s co-operative in India, Greenknickers ensure that the skill set of the underprivileged is utilised, helping the poverty stricken to find employment. In July 2008 they became the first underwear brand to be awarded the fair trade mark.^*
