And so Laamuse was born, an ethical, local, and sustainable underwear firm that claims the power of color as a generator of emotions. In this way, the firm’s garments, all made with BCI (Better Cotton Initiative) cotton in workshops in Maresme (Barcelona) and with an obvious quality, are based on color therapy to transmit positive emotions and sensations to those who wear them. uses. Another element that we have loved about Laamuse is that it does not use rings, cups, or regulating mechanisms that constrict the body, facilitating that sensation of freedom, lightness, and movement that women seek in everyday lingerie. Totally in love.

Sustainable haute couture lingerie. This is how we could define the proposal that Ariane Delarue brings us. And it is that Ariane is a French designer who, after training in the most select workshops in Paris and London and working for firms such as Alexander McQueen, settled near Barcelona to create her underwear firm based on sustainability and craftsmanship. Ariane Delarue currently offers us lingerie made with fabrics -mainly silk- and lace from vintage clothing stores in Barcelona, thus promoting upcycling and quality garments made to last a lifetime. As the designer, herself tells us: Due to this supply process, Ariane Delarue’s collections are very limited editions.
In the same way, the entire labeling, packaging, and shipping process are carried out with the utmost rigor, using, for example, translucent vegetable paper labels attached to a waxed cotton cord as swing tags.
Sustainable, “sexy”, and empowering lingerie. That’s how Uma Intimates is defined, and that’s how it is. And it is that the underwear firm created in Barcelona by the entrepreneurs Carla and Marie has the objective that any woman can empower herself through her underwear while taking care of the planet and people. The brand offers us attractive lingerie, with very sensual lace but without the meaning of being corseted or feeling uncomfortable. And it is that their garments, made mainly with Tencel, are designed to adapt to the body softly and comfortably. And thanks to the different designs, you will surely find the one that best suits your body and your style. We have also fallen in love with the firm with its packaging, which elevates circular fashion to its maximum power, becoming a vegan leather bag.
Ecology was one of the first sustainable clothing brands in Spain. And we love to see how it has evolved into a comfortable eco underwear brand with a sophisticated edge. The firm began producing in a small workshop in Terrassa (Barcelona), but the coincidence of its closure with the transfer of its creator, Eva García, to Formentera, has led it to assume 100% of the production, which it now carries out entirely. artisan way in his workshop. The fabrics, as always, are ecological (basically organic cotton in the case of underwear) and come from local suppliers. We like everything about Ecology, but its upcycling capsule collection is made with bits of fabric and leftover pieces from his previous collections.

Thanks to this, today, under the ZD Zero Defects label, we can count on underwear that feels like a glove and lasts forever. Many of them, moreover, are made with ecological fabrics. Look look.
