Eco & Ethics

Eco Intimates is an Australian-owned small business based in Northern NSW. I personally design every collection, creating comfortable, functional pieces for everyday wear before working closely with my long-term makers in Bali to bring each design to life.

I work with a small group of skilled makers and small studios in Bali. I work closely with them from sampling through to production, refining fit, construction and finish along the way.

• Long-term working relationships
• Small-batch production
• Regular quality control and fit refinement

Natural fibres are at the heart of Eco Intimates. I believe what touches your skin matters. That's why I choose natural fibres wherever possible, sourcing certified organic cotton alongside carefully selected natural fabrics chosen for their comfort, breathability and longevity.

For some collections, I also source beautiful natural fabrics that inspire me, such as cotton voile, cotton lawn and silk from trusted small suppliers. While these fabrics aren't certified, I choose them because of their quality, comfort and longevity.

For coloured organic cotton collections, I custom dye OCS-certified organic cotton in Bali using DyStar Remazol® reactive dyes. This allows me to create unique colours while maintaining the quality of the organic cotton. Because the fabric is dyed after certification, the finished fabric is no longer OEKO-TEX® certified.

I believe sustainability should be transparent. My goal is to provide as much information as possible about the fabrics, dyes and printing processes I use, allowing you to make informed choices about the products you purchase. Products made from OCS and OEKO-TEX® certified fabrics will be clearly identified on each product page so you can easily see which fabrics are certified.

Creating supportive, durable lingerie using natural fibres sometimes requires compromise. While I always aim to use the most natural materials possible, there are currently some limitations within the textile industry.

• Our Natural and Black organic cotton fabrics are purchased from OCS-certified suppliers and are OEKO-TEX® Standard 100 certified.
• To create additional colourways, I custom dye OCS-certified organic cotton in Bali using DyStar Remazol® reactive dyes. Because the fabric is dyed after certification, these custom colours are not OEKO-TEX® certified, even though the base fabric is certified organic cotton.
• A small amount of elastane is used in stretch fabrics to provide comfort, shape retention and durability.
• Stretch fabrics containing elastane cannot be commercially dyed using plant dyes alone.
• Deep shades, such as black, cannot currently be achieved using natural dyes at a commercial scale.

Rather than striving for perfection, I focus on making thoughtful, informed choices that balance comfort, durability and environmental responsibility. I'll always be transparent about the materials I use and continue looking for better alternatives as they become available.

Every Eco Intimates collection is produced in small batches rather than mass manufactured.

Producing this way allows me to refine fit, reduce waste, maintain quality and avoid unnecessary overproduction.

• Smaller production runs
• Less excess stock
• Thoughtful seasonal colour releases
• Work with other small business. women led. 

Packaging is kept minimal and plastic-free wherever possible.

• Cream tissue wrap
• Compostable mailers from Better Packaging
• No unnecessary marketing inserts

Sustainability isn't about being perfect. It's about continually asking better questions and making better decisions.

As Eco Intimates grows, I’m committed to improving materials, trims, packaging, production and transparency while keeping comfort, quality and ethics central to every decision.
