Values
We are more than what we sell
We are what we leave behind, the mark we make, the values we hold. We spread our production out globally, with factories in China and the United States. Our close working relationships with the people who make our products include weekly and often daily contact, as well as multiple visits per year to the factories themselves. We have chosen to work with women-owned facilities, who share our values of taking good care of their workers and reducing their environmental impact.
Eco-friendly
The majority of our cotton underwear and swimwear are Oeko-Tex 100 certified—a highly-regarded international standard for non-toxic fabrics. Additionally, the process that gives our activewear its quick-dry, antimicrobial and moisture-wicking properties uses crab and shrimp shells instead of finishing with synthetic chemicals. Our luxury MicroModal fabric is made out of sustainably harvested and processed Beechwood fibers. And our Signature Prints use a water-based, earth-conscious method, recycling water well above the standards required. We are always looking for the greenest, cleanest method for everything we make.
Human-friendly
The hard-working individuals who take care sewing the buttons, trimming the elastics, and placing the labels just so are the reason that every pair of underwear we sell reaches our exacting standards. We only work with factories that are clean, well-lit, provide ample breaks to their employees, and pay a living wage. Everything we make is ethically produced and sweat-shop free.
You may see a theme here—we choose eco-friendly factories because we care about the environment. We ensure that our partners pay their workers a living wage because we believe that's the right thing to do. Social justice, LGBTQ issues, and women's rights are the very heart of why we do what we do.
