About materials
Sourcing the best local materials is the core of our sustainable network, that’s exactly how we started out in 2016. Underwear is the closest thing your wear, so we owe your skin the best, down to the smallest details, starting with the fabrics. They tick all our requirements boxes: super soft, daily comfort, high durability, eco-friendly certification, geographical proximity.
For us, socially conscious fashion means commiting to transparency, so let’s go!
SIGNATURE MATERIAL: SECOND SKIN FEEL LUXURY MICROFIBRE
- 78% Polyamide / 22% Elasthanne
- OEKO-TEX® Standard 100 certification (safe for human use)
- Made in France
- Machine wash at 30°, air dry
Our signature line is the definition of second skin. A durable high-performance fabric that feels like a light veil on your body, taking comfort to the next level. It’s woven in Ardèche by THE elastic fabrics specialist which usually works on high-end sportswear and swimwear. A 4 way stretch that doesn’t lose its shape and allows unrestricted movement. Cloud-weight and breathable, it feels incredible against the skin and provides a seamless silhouette, even under tight clothes, thanks to panties laser cut technique. A sleek feel and no-show lingerie! Numerous strict quality tests have been run to make sure you get a durability champion: it won’t pill and won’t deform.
Also, its specific structure dries quickly, which is pretty convenient as we do not recommend tumble dry. We buy it print-ready (raw beige) and transfer it by truck to our printer (Isère, France).
You might wanna know that this material is UV-chlorine-salt resistant… So guess what? Your lingerie can pull the wool over for an impromptu swim. Brilliant! But mind you, don’t take the plunge if the colour of your second skin lingerie is too light (ping, beige…), it could become see-through, so that’s a no.

CERTIFICATIONS GLOSSARY
STANDARD 100 by OEKO-TEX® is a global independent certification system that ensures our fabrics are safe for human use, free of any toxic or allergic substances (chemicals or dyes). You can wear our lingerie, swimwear or homewear immediately, without washing them.
REACH (Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals) is a European Regulation that provides a high level of protection of human health and the environment from the use of chemicals.
GRS (Global Recycle Standard) is an international voluntary product standard for tracking and verifying the content of recycled materials in a final product (your bra for instance). It provides brands with a tool to establish more transparency in the full supply chain (traceability, environmental principles, social requirements, chemical content and labeling).
GOTS defines world-wide recognised requirements for organic textiles, from harvesting of the raw materials (traceability of the cotton), through environmentally and socially responsible manufacturing up to labeling. It provides a credible assurance to the end consumer, as all certified products meet the exact same stringent standards. More specifically, it limits the use of toxic bleaches, dyes and other chemical inputs during the production process of organic textiles.
