LARA INTIMATES
Did you know that large brands and factories send millions of tonnes of unused textiles to landfill every year? At Laura Intimates, they believe (quite rightly!) that the most sustainable fabric choice is using material that already exists. They work with a UK supplier that buys surplus luxury lingerie fabrics from around the world and brings them back to a warehouse in England.
Why we love them: On average, 10% of fabric in the fashion industry ends up wasted on the cutting room floor. At Laura Intimates they cut lots of bras and briefs out at the same time and pack pattern pieces together so there’s little space in between, i.e. they waste very little fabric.
