By Nature launches ethical underwear range just in time for Valentines Day

By Andrea Petrou on February 2nd, 2010

t’s February, and that means only one thing; the shops and the internet are gearing up for the biggest love event of the year. If like us, you have no idea what to get your other half then why not go for something that you can both enjoy as well as easing your conscious at the same time?

“Life is Not Fair but my Knickers Are” is the latest range of Fairtrade nightwear and underwear by By Nature and each piece in the range has been designed by and made from certified Fairtrade cotton.

Not only is the collection gorgeous and reasonably priced but it’s also doing a lot to help saves lives in developing countries.

According to By Nature, two billion people – a third of humanity – survive on less than $2 a day. Unfair trade rules keep them in poverty, but they face the global challenges of food shortages and climate change too. Fairtrade certification gives developing world producers more control of their own lives, by getting a better deal for the work that they do.

We know we’ll feel a warmth in our hearts at helping someone this Valentines day and if you want to keep this feeling for that little bit longer than why not visit our eco friendly website Hippy Shopper, to get more ideas for valentine’s ethical gifts this year.

Buy the underwear now from Fashion-Conscienceor By Nature. Prices range from £10 to £25.

Valentines day is looming in the background and many of us will be out buying a range of lingerie to impress our other halves on the official day of romance.

Although we’ll be bringing you lingerie galleries and reviews next week in the lead up to the day we couldn’t wait to tell you about Rigby and Peller’s new range.

The company has just announced that it is now stocking its first organic cotton line by Huit with the Biotiful Range.

This cotton is grown according to organic farming principles respecting the environment and does not involve any processes harmful to humans and the planet. Natural, breathable, softer and more comfortable, this material is naturally hypoallergenic, making it perfect for sensitive skins.

To respect both the skin and the environment, the ecological dye used is entirely biodegradable and is guaranteed non-toxic.

And the packaging is also consistent with the line as it includes recycled paper tags and huit hangers made of recyclable plastic.

Nicky Clayton, head of buying at Rigby & Peller, said: “This is a beautiful range with impeccable environment & ethical credentials. The cotton is incredibly soft on the skin and so is the perfect everyday range.”
