This month I'm loving... gorgeous ethical lingerie from Daisy Green and Enamore, who've just introduced the 'best ever' ethical bra. So, what does it look like? Well, that's a bit tricky, as it's actually under wraps until the launch party on the 11th of June. [NOTE: The event was postponed due to the Tube strike. Visit Daisy Green or Enamore to find out when it will be rescheduled.] Yes I realise it's bizarre to highlight a fave find you can't yet see, but never fear. As it's from Enamore, I can guarantee it's going to be fun, flirty and fabulous, just like the Peekaboo camisole, below (just
£24 in the Spring Fever sale).
Each bra will be hand-crocheted in soft, eco-friendly bamboo wool and made in the UK (no sweatshops and a much lower carbon footprint). Not only that, a donation from every sale will go to charities that encourage breastfeeding worldwide, through education and support. Speaking of support, the bras will have more support than past ethical selections. ![]() For a sneak peek, head to the launch party, from 7pm til late at I.N.C. Space in Grape Street, WC2. Tickets are
£10 in advance;
£15 on the door. The party also aspires to be the UK's biggest ever swish.
Worried all this char-i-dee and good will swishing will mean a goody-two-shoes party? Think again. The vibe is much more indulgent and well, naughty than nice, with a burlesque act, music from ethical group the
Phoenix Rose, an ethical styling session by top stylist Lupe Castro, and of course plenty of green goodies at the sponsors' booths.
In the meantime there are plenty of other treats to behold on the Daisy Green site. Have a look at the beauty section's tried-and-tested ethical self-tanning products plus the fab competitions like the current one for two pairs of Pants to Poverty knickers.
