Fair Trade Designers: Greenknickers

April 22, 2008 by Rene

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.*

Products:

Greenleaves: Figleaves’ Eco Lingerie Department

March 8, 2008 by Mandolina

Eco Lingerie is the next big thing. We’ve mentioned quite a lot of Eco-stuff on TLP before (read up in our ‘eco lingerie’ archives here!), but when Figleaves decides to really go for something, they beat everyone else when it comes to delivering. To make sure they don’t miss out on the eco-trent, Figleaves have launched Greenleaves — their dedicated deparment for ‘green products’ with the tag line: “Concerned about the environment but also want to look and feel good? Then Greenleaves is for you!”.

At this point, Greenleaves has 4 dedicated eco labels on display:

  • Eco Boudoir (UK/US)
  • Enamore (UK/USicon)
  • GreenKnickers (UK/USicon)
  • People Tree (UK/US)

Figleaves has also added some eco products from other brands like Chantelle, Ballet and Amoralia in the Greenleaves department — as always different styles on the UK and US website.

That remains one of the downsides. Some of the pretty things on the Greenleaves UK shop are not on the Greenleaves US pages. Oh well! 🙂
