Rebil group leads on developing replacing plastic with OLEAGO as featured on Lingerie Briefss

The treasure hunt is one of my favorite activities. But instead of deciphering ancient scripts in search of the submerged brigantines I roam the halls of the trade shows around the world looking for hidden gems. The Premiere Vision Expo in New York in January of 2020 presented some of the most exciting discoveries.

REBIL Group debuted a collection of packaging items they created using a groundbreaking material OLEAGO; derived from olive pits, it’s an eco-responsible alternative to plastic.

The enthusiasm of the Senior Sales Manager of Turkey-based REBIL Group, Ugur Aycin, was contagious. He placed in front of me one exciting item after another while I was trying to grasp the entire scope of the invention.

Who would imagine just a few years ago that our favorite snack, since biblical times, would become a source of the Earth-saving material?… ...Read more

Say Yes to This ~ NOO

March 9, 2020

By ALISON CONNOLLY

NOO, a sustainable brand featured on Lingerie Briefs

NOO is a French brand that specializes in lingerie, swimwear, activewear and ready-to-wear, but for purposes of this Gallery, we’re focusing on the intimate(s) side of their business.

In keeping with the theme of sustainability (a new blog category we recently launched at Lingerie Briefs), sharing the story of NOO is something we had to say YES to!  Co-founded by two young women, Anaïs and Elissa, NOO is a company that has a very clear commitment to sustainable fashion.  Most of their materials are re-used (sometimes you’ll see fabrics from older collections show up), many of their lingerie fabrics are produced from recycled fibers, while some of their swimwear ranges are made from 100% green Eco-Wave fabric (made from waste recovered from the Mediterranean).  Even their ready-to-wear pieces are made from a fiber of biodegradable vegetable origin!  There’s actually considerably more to share about their eco-friendly practices (their packaging is made from bioplastics), which we encourage you to visit their website to discover the full scope of their commitment to the environment.… ...Read more

Our intent is to recognize efforts being made within the Intimate Apparel industry to confront this cataclysm that threatens our planet. In this pursuit, it is clear education is the key. On a personal level, although I was raised with respect for my environment, I was completely ignorant of the impact of me or my ancestor’s behavior on our futurephoto of whale watching by Ellen Lewis for Lingerie BriefsI have been curating information from a plethora of sources, mostly dedicated to the entire Apparel industry. The statistics emanating from organizations like the Ellen MacArthur Foundation are startling: for example, annually,over 80% of clothing is dumped or incinerated causing the release of methane or other greenhouse gases. That’s one garbage truck full per second. In contrast, 80% of a car can be recycled.… ...Read more

Precocious Period Panties ~ K+1%

K+1% Period panties as featured on Lingerie Briefs

Period panties are one of those things that don’t come up much when discussing fashionable lingerie – for good reasons! While I love that they exist and am a big believer in the tech behind them, the best you can say about most of them in terms of visual design is that they look like a regular pair of black cotton panties. K + 1% was part of the recent Curve NYC show and has forever changed my mind about what period panties can look and feel like.

When I approached the K + 1% booth what I immediately noticed was their stylish designs, fun use of cutouts and luxe use of velvet materials. It actually took my companion pointing out the sign that talked about period panties before I realized what the brand really specialized in! This small brand based in Japan is perfectly Instagrammable and out to change the look of period panties forever.… ...Read more
