At The Lingerist, our journey began with a steadfast commitment to offering a platform to independent and innovative lingerie brands that share our passion for sustainable and ethical practices. We understand the significance of your choices and how they contribute to a more conscious fashion industry. Here’s a detailed insight into our commitments and why they matter:
Sustainability at the Core:
From the inception of The Lingerist, our aim has been to champion sustainability in every facet of our operations. Our packaging, crafted from recycled cardboard and paper with minimal adhesive, mirrors our dedication to reducing waste. Each package you receive contributes towards carbon neutrality and supports reforestation projects through our collaboration with Pachama.
Assessing Brand Impact:
We take meticulous steps to evaluate the impact of our brands through our CONSCIOUS CRITERIA. Before introducing a product, we engage brands with a comprehensive questionnaire. This unified assessment helps us understand each product's impact on the planet, people, and animals.
Recycled Materials:
We endorse sustainability by spotlighting products crafted from recycled materials. We consider fabrics as recycled if they incorporate a minimum of 30% pre- or post-consumer recycled materials. Our certifications, including Global Recycle Standard (GRS), Cradle to Cradle (C2C), and Recycled Claim Standard (RCS), ensure the authenticity of our approach.
Organic Materials:
Organic fabrics, sourced from certified organic farming, constitute another pivotal aspect of our offerings. We classify a fabric as organic if at least 70% of its fibers come from certified organic farming. Certifications such as Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS), Organic Content Standard (OCS), and others validate our commitment.
Sustainable Materials:
Our dedication extends to sustainable materials that have a minimal environmental impact. While not organic or recycled, these fabrics embrace new technologies to minimize harm. Certifications like Oeko Tex 100, Forest Stewardship Council (FSC), and others ensure the sustainability of these fabrics.
Vegan Principles:
We advocate for cruelty-free fashion, ensuring no animal products are used in crafting our garments or components. Certifications such as Peta Approved Vegan and The Vegan Society support our commitment to ethical sourcing.
Clean Production:
Beyond raw materials, we prioritize clean production methods that safeguard both the environment and human well-being. Certifications like Bluesign, Oeko Tex 100, and Climate Neutral certification underline our dedication to clean and sustainable manufacturing.
Ethical Labor:
Every product we offer embodies ethical labor practices. We highlight brands and manufacturers with the highest certifications to ensure fair pay, respectful treatment, safe working conditions, humane hours, and zero tolerance for forced labor or discrimination.
Made-to-Order Philosophy:
To combat textile waste, we value made-to-order production. This model significantly reduces waste and CO2 emissions by initiating production only upon receiving an order.
European Manufacturing:
We prioritize products made in Europe to reduce CO2 emissions and ensure adherence to stringent European laws governing working conditions, dyeing, and material safety.
At The Lingerist, your conscious choice for ethical lingerie contributes to a fashion landscape that values sustainability, transparency, and ethical standards. Each purchase supports not just beautiful undergarments but a collective movement toward a more responsible and ethical fashion industry.
Thank you for being a part of this transformative journey.
Warm Regards, The Lingerist Team
