More Eco-Friendly Lingerie: Wood you say?

April 26th, 2008 by T

Hmmm…. splinters in the derriere. What kind of lingerie label is this? Actually Sophia Young, the French designer, in response to her daughter’s allergic reactions, has created a line of lingerie made of wood. The collection was recently released by “By Nature”, a company known for promoting products for organic and ethical living.WOOD LINGERIE

Sophia describes the collection as being “as soft as silk with the feel of cashmere and the coolness of linen”. It is very comfortable, easily maintained and keeps its shape well. The material itself is called Lenpur and is made from white pine tree clippings processed with enzymes. Apparently, the fibre is able to regulate temperature keeping one cool in the summer and warm in the winter. The raw materials are renewable and sustainable resources while the finished fabric itself is biodegradable.

In addition to the eco-friendly material, By Nature believes in responsible manufacturing. This eco-friendly lingerie label is produced in Angers, France, a small community that cherishes the planet and provides a long-time and well-known craft.

Ethical underwear, indeed!
