Change is the only constant. I learned this lesson a long time ago, but this statement has taken on a richer, more urgent meaning in the past 6 months. Everyone, everywhere is scrambling to regroup, reassert, reassess priorities and expectations. The lingerie industry was already in flux prior to Covid. New initiatives were already impacting design and development: inclusivity, sustainability, comfort, and health. These themes have redefined the concept of value in … Read More

I spent all day today reading the news and feeling like the world is falling apart. We’re on T for hurricane names and it’s only September and whole states (and the wildlife and habitats they contain) are on fire.

Available in S/M-XL and sold in eco-friendly packaging, it is a laudable effort to achieving sustainability.
Eco-Wear combines technological innovation with a thoughtful look at how the lingerie industry impacts … Read More

Everyone hates hand washing lingerie, but I’ve always felt like it’s little better when I get to use Soak. I’ve been a personal fan of this no rinse-free lingerie wash for years: Perfect for busy or lazy people who hate chores (I identify as both). What I didn’t know until I attended Curve NYC in February was how much Soak cares about sustainability and the environment.
Packaging is a huge … Read More

Given that “Tiger King” is the show entertaining the nation right now, it’s perfect (prrrfect) timing that we feature the brand Kilo Brava, whose headquarters is a handful of miles far from the infamous Carole Baskin’s Big Cat Rescue center AND their current loungewear collection features an original tiger print! Clearly someone was channeling what was going to be big in 2020 (and really, who could have guessed).
Kilo Brava is … Read More
