Turning excess garments into under-garments

Anna Spangler

The concept bloomed from two problems: having too many t-shirts to know what to do with, and not having many options for ethically produced panties. This started out as a hobby and personal venture, but sparked a deep dive into the way the fashion industry pipelines so many garments from sweatshops to landfill. We are striving to disrupt that cycle and re-imagine fabric recycling. This underwear is meant to be more than just comfy and cute- let it be a reminder in your drawer to stay curious about how your clothes are made, who is making them, what impact they have on our earth, and beyond.
