Who Made Your Pants is an awesome company. They buy end-of-season fabric being sold on by big underwear companies which would otherwise go to waste and make stretch lace knickers (with cotton gussets). They’re a worker’s cooperative, and employ vulnerable women (primarily refugees), giving them a safe place to work, learn and gain skills to make them more employable. I think they're pretty awesome, and now that I've bought one pair (so I know that I've chosen the right size) I'm planning to buy more - when I can afford it! They fit well, have been through the washing machine on a normal cycle and come out fine, and I have been looking to buy more knickers as most of mine are 3-5 years old and some of the elastic is going ...
It makes me really happy when I find new places to buy ethically sourced stuff from. It's like, hey! Not all of the world is obsessed with destroying the environment and exploiting people to make a quick buck! So I thought I'd post to share as I figure some of you might be similarly heartened to hear about companies like this
(Also, if you want a few more photos of packaging etc, I've written more about all this on my blog)
