7 Sustainable Australian Lingerie Brands To Add To Your Wishlist

7 Sustainable And Stylish Australian Lingerie Brands To Fall In Love With

It’s no secret we’ve all been spending a bit more time (ok, a lot more time), lounging around our homes in our comfiest threads. With our party dresses and mini bags on hold for the minute, it’s the perfect opportunity to dig a little deeper and give some much-needed attention to the most worn garments in our closets – lingerie.

While we’re becoming more aware of the environmental impacts fast fashion brands are having on our planet, we should be applying that same commitment to sustainability to our undergarments, too. Luckily, there’s no shortage of cute and ethical lingerie brands that know their stuff when it comes to keeping green – and looking chic – at the same time.

The added bonus? They’re Australian too.

With the economic effects of the current coronavirus pandemic combined with the devastating Australian bushfires earlier this year, there’s never been a more important time to shop local.

So, if you’re spending some time Marie Kondo-ing your wardrobe during self-isolation and are looking to make your lingerie selection a bit more eco-friendly, we’ve rounded up seven of our favourite sustainable Australian brands to fall in love with now.
