Sourcing sustainable fabrics
Sourcing Sustainable Fabrics
As part of our sustainability commitment, we have introduced recycled materials, fabrics, dyes & finishes in our collections to reduce our environmental impact without compromising on glamour. Our swimwear and beachwear collections have increased to 35% using more sustainable fabrics. Almost 50% of our clothing range uses more sustainable fabrics.
Find out more about the materials we use below.
Ecovero™ Viscose
EcoVero™ is a more sustainable viscose made using certified & sustainable wood. It's a sustainable alternative to viscose which is light soft and comfortable.
Recycled Polyester
The recycled polyester we use is made mainly from PET plastic bottles, a more sustainable option without compromising on comfort & softness.
Recycled Nylon / Polyamide
Recycled nylon / polyamide is not only strong, supple and comfortable but reduces our reliance on fossil fuels. It is used in our Reflection collection.
Before landing on your doorstep, every piece of our lingerie, swimwear & clothing goes through a number of processes that have an impact on the planet. We're passionate about making these products more sustainable, without compromising on our fabulous fit and quality.
Eco packaging
Our move to eco packaging
Did you know plastic packaging in the UK accounts for more than 70% of our overall plastic waste?
That's a lot of waste! We're looking at ways to reduce the use of single use 'poly bags' while ensuring our garments arrive to you in tip top condition!
Amount
Amount
  • We have changed the way we package several of our garments, meaning that these products can be packed flat and folded, saving on unnecessary packaging.
  • We have reduced the size of the poly bags we use to use less plastic.
  • We have reduced unnecessary packaging, including our garment hangers — that's 180,000 less plastic hangers a year! We have also replaced our gift boxes with reusable satin fabric gift bags.
Material
Material
  • We've replaced fossil fuel-based plastics with recycled and bio-based plastics.
  • All our mailing and garment poly bags are fully recyclable. These can by recycled in your local area, for more information on how to do this head to recyclenow.com. Our swing tickets are also fully recyclable.
  • Our packaging is produced from sugarcane, which have been produced from renewable resources. We also now use recycled and recyclable tissue paper in our bra packaging. Significantly reducing our contribution to greenhouse gas emissions.
Energy and waste initiatives
We are aware that more needs to be done to make the lingerie and fashion industry more sustainable. That is why we took the decision a few years ago to minimise products from our factories being delivered by air freight. We also made the decision to reduce the distance our fabrics and components travel, therefore a significant number of our fabrics and components are now manufactured in the same country as the garments are made. We strive to become a carbon neutral business through our ongoing sustainabilty commitments and more.
Freight
Freight
After a brief period of air shipping due to pandemic delays, we have since minimised shipping our production by air since November 2021.

Where possible, we use renewable energy, we continually review how we can optimise renewable energy across a number of our sites.

Skip the dryer

The Dryer
Let's skip the tumble dryer. The heat can cause real damage to your garments and your bank balance. Protect your garments by letting them dry naturally outside or close to a radiator.
Treat stains
Treat
Stains
You'll have a better chance at removing stains if you treat them immediately after they happen, before the stains have a chance to dry.
Perfumes and oils
Perfumes & Oils
If you are using perfume or oils, make sure it's fully dry before dressing. Perfume and oils can permanently stain your garments and no one wants that!
Repair if possible
Repair If Possible
Before you throw away your favourite dress with a torn seam, why not repair it yourself or take it to be repaired? Repairing something is friendlier on your bank balance and the environment.
