Sizing notes:

Our Ruffle Knickers are made from a beautiful woven fabric with no inherent stretch. However, they’re designed with elastic at the waistband and around the legs to ensure a soft, flexible fit. Because the fabric doesn’t stretch like our Base and Luxe underwear ranges, the sizing and fit feel different—so we’ve created this chart just for them.

Below you’ll find the relaxed flat measurement, the maximum waistband stretch, and the recommended high-hip measurement to help you choose the right size. If you’re between sizes or prefer a roomier fit, we suggest sizing up for added comfort.

And as always, if you're unsure which size is best for you, feel free to reach out—I'm always happy to help you find the right fit.

As a tiny brand, my business practices are so different—not just from large companies but even from other small businesses creating similar products.

For me, sourcing fabrics and trims means purchasing overflow materials—what bigger brands have left behind. It’s not quite “deadstock,” but it’s close. Many lingerie supplies require minimum orders of 10,000 units, so I work with what’s available—often organic or recycled materials that others have already chosen. While this can feel a little restrictive, it’s also incredibly rewarding to reduce waste and give surplus materials a new life in my designs.

What also makes me different is my hands-on approach. I’m not just designing; I’m involved in every aspect of my business. From choosing fabrics to perfecting fit, packing your orders, and even answering your emails, it’s all me! This level of personal connection means every piece you receive has been created with care, intention, and a commitment to sustainability.

Unlike many SMEs, my focus is on creating small, thoughtful collections that reflect timeless design and avoid the cycle of fast fashion. I don’t follow trends—I create pieces that last, both in quality and style.

Thank you for supporting me, Madonna, and my little brand, Eco Intimates. Your choice makes a huge difference, not just to me, but to the way we move towards a more ethical and sustainable fashion industry.

Warmly,
Madonna

I partner with a small group of home-based makers and small studios in Bali. I work closely with them from sampling through to production, ensuring consistency in fit and finish.

• Small-batch production

Each piece is handcrafted, not mass produced. The focus is longevity—quality materials and careful sewing designed to last.

• Smaller production runs
• Less overproduction

Sustainable Fabrics

Natural fibres are central to Eco Intimates. Organic cotton jersey and stretch organic cotton (with minimal elastane for recovery) are sourced from OCS-certified suppliers using Oeko-Tex certified dyes.

Journey to Better
