11 Sexy Sustainable Lingerie Brands 2025

I have published a list of sustainable ethical underwear brands before but I kept some special ones for a specifically sexy article. I’ll be honest it’s been a long time since I bought some fancy knickers – another side effect of parenting they don’t warn you about! If you feels it’s time to indulge your inner siren but don’t want to a side of consumer guilt then check out these conscientious creators.

German brand Anekdot make stunning underwear from surplus fabrics and Econyl, a 100% post-consumer waste polyamide yarn. Their elastic trimmings are high quality leftovers from big runs, originally made for UK brands in the 80s. Hooks & eyes, rings and slides are ‘Made in Germany’ and locally sourced and their garments are ethically made in Berlin by a small team of artisan sewers.

Danish brand Underprotection makes their underwear from certified organic cotton, recycled polyester, Lyocell, milk fibre (made from sour milk!!!!!!) and recycled wool in a small factory in New Dehli, India. They only use certified materials and in 2013 they obtained the Fair Wear Foundation (FWF) young designer license.

Buying pre-loved is always better than buying new so I’m delighted to add the Irish vintage lingerie brand Slips to be Seen to this list.

Lara Intimates is a London-based design studio that sources surplus luxury lingerie fabrics from a UK supplier. They also state that their elastics, strapping, underbands and bindings are made and dyed by a responsible British manufacturer.  They aim to cut patterns so as to minimise waste fabric and anything that is wasted, is saved to be shredded and used as stuffing in a new garment. Because the company founders couldn’t find a sustainable lingerie factory every Lara garment is made in-house, in their Soho studio, London.

UK brand Siku Moja design for longevity, constructing their small collection of garments to last and selecting end of line and organic materials, that wear well. They state that they build open and transparent partnerships with micro-businesses and small producers that specialise in handmade small-scale production. If they need to buy new they only source from the UK.

Based in London Ayten Gasson makes her lingerie in the UK using locally made lace and local companies as much as possible. She also uses vintage lace, modal, bamboo, peace silk and organic silk.

UK company Buttress & Snatch (see top photo) make lingerie to order out of materials from UK suppliers and manufacturers.

Fruity Booty make underwear mostly from end-of-line fabric in factories in London and Portugal. Their products are wrapped up in tissue paper, tied using recycled hemp string and sealed in a recyclable brown envelope. They have also implemented a zero single-use plastic policy, meaning all our pieces we we receive from our manufacturer are loose.

Qrucifix is a UK based company making lingerie from plant-dyed fabrics including deadstock mesh, recycled elastic and close-loop rayon. Cleverly they’ve designed a bra with separate backs and fronts, meaning you can change the style of back to suit different garment styles.

Merri Intimates is a UK based female-owned company making cami and knicker sets, and individual knickers, using GOTS certified organic cotton. They minimise packaging, offset the carbon from transportation and 60% of their collections are made from surplus textiles in factories in Europe.
