Anekdot
Made from production leftovers and vintage trimmings, Anekdot's entire lineup of lingerie and swimwear is upcycled. The Berlin-based brand also uses factories in the German city and in Poland, which ensures a shorter supply chain, and has made it a point to educate others about the importance of sustainable manufacturing and how it can actually be done.

Botanica Workshop
With sheer details, contrast trims, and unique prints, this made-in-USA underwear brand is the epitome of luxury. Though on the pricier side due to its use of organic cotton, recycled nylon, and silk — all of which is naturally dyed — a purchase from Botanica Workshop is worth the splurge.

Fruity Booty
Fruity Booty makes feel-good lingerie — and not because it's soft, comfy, and ultra-sexy. Instead, it's the ethical and sustainable practices that make the London-based brand a crowd-pleaser. From 100% recyclable packaging to the surplus fabrics used in production, we guarantee that there will be no guilt felt after purchasing a set from Fruity Booty.
Fruity Booty Signature Blush Brief, $, available at Fruity Booty
Girlfriend Collective
The brand behind Instagram's favorite size-inclusive workout sets now makes underwear. But Girlfriend's lingerie selection isn't just any underwear — it's sustainable (and comfortable!), too. And to prove it, the brand broke down the impact of every pair on its website. For example, every Sport Thong purchased will divert five water bottles from being sent to a landfill. Now, that's good underwear.

Hara The Label
If you're looking for that flattering, feeling-myself set that you can't help but take a selfie in, look no further. Hara's simple pairings are almost too good to cover up, plus they're ethically made with bamboo fabrics and natural dye.
