Clare Bare has some lovely new holiday intimate items over at the Öko Box.

Leslie of  the Öko Box explains:

“Clare Bare is a one girl force based in a studio in Brooklyn. Promptly after graduating from Parsons School of Design, she began designing one of a kind and limited edition pieces made from eco-friendly materials. She uses vintage fabric and trimmings for most of her garments, and any new materials that she uses are made from organic cotton. Clare Bare makes garments that accentuate the body, rather than cover it up, push it up, or transform it in an unnatural way. She doesn’t believe in clothing that is created to solve a problem, because the flaw doesn’t exist until you design something for it. Clare Bare lingerie is simple and flattering, designed with every body type in mind.  “

We think this set would make a great gift for the holidays! Here is another angle: Read the rest of this entry »

Previously, on FGS we talked about the possible choices for ladies to buy organic intimates. Which who knows? May just move you to a luxe-lingerie dance party tonight. Right now Grist has a great article out on greening the underwear drawer and it includes briefs for men. As a resource they feature Red Dog eco sport. Looks like a good choice for the guys! The styles are simple and all organic, and they have a solid mission:

Red Dog products are made in Turkey from SKAL certified organic cotton (exclusive of trim). Low impact, eco-friendly dyes were used to achieve product color. RDS encourages organic farming and eco-friendly, sustainable living. By providing farmers with tools to improve their skills, and thus the quality of their cotton, we hope to increase their opportunities for self-sufficiency and sustainability. We only work with manufacturers that believe in our principles. All workers must be paid a living wage and no unfair labor practices or unsafe working conditions can exist. Your support enables us to educate consumers on the benefits of recycling and renewing the earth’s natural resources.
