Intimate apparel brand is first to offer lace underwear from naturally colored organic cotton that is flattering, feminine and free of toxic dyes and chemicals.
“Brand new to the industry, I started researching the causes of pollution from fashion. Within a few hours, I figured out that textile dyeing was the most toxic component of the clothing manufacturing process, and that the industry did not have a scalable solution implemented. Realizing this, I began searching for fibers that did not need to be dyed, which is when I discovered our miracle fiber – naturally colored cotton,” said Shelby Jones, Higher Loyalty’s Founder.
Consumers should know that conventional textile dyeing uses more than 8,000 chemicals, introducing toxins that wearers can absorb through prolonged skin contact. Dyeing is also energy intensive and highly polluting. Higher Loyalty not only rejects chemical dyes and toxins but also avoids 80% of the pollution caused by the fashion industry just by eliminating the dyeing process. The brand’s lingerie is more natural and breathable, better for human health and the environment and – unlike other sustainable intimates – it delivers the femininity and style women expect when wearing lingerie.
“We’re committed to offering lingerie that is sexy, safe and sustainable,” said Jessica Owusu-Afriyie, Higher Loyalty co-founder. “It took years of development and innovation, but we created intimates with a core style and foundational items that fit every woman’s wardrobe. It’s a giant leap for sustainable intimate apparel.”
Higher Loyalty’s collection features both lace and soft, stretchy ribbed fabric and includes an all-lace thong, a French cut bikini, a high-rise thong with lace waistband, a G-string, a bralette designed for both small and large busts and two tank tops. Higher Loyalty cotton is milled in Japan, at one of the few producers in the world sustainably milling naturally colored Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS)-certified cotton. It is spun into yarns and knit into fabric in its natural color.
