Review | Discovering The Sustainable Style of IDENTITY LINGERIE

*Ad

Sourcing sustainable clothing has become a big focus for me in the last few years but from research and experience, it isn’t always the easiest thing to achieve or get right. There are many brands out there “claiming” to be more eco-friendly or ethical but when it comes to the crunch, most seem to be simply greenwashing their consumers and so, I have found that the best way to shop sustainably is secondhand. Now, for most clothing items this is fine, however, I do draw the line at preloved underwear and nightwear, which I am sure many of you will agree with, so what can we do in this situation? Thankfully, there are more and more sustainable and ethical brands popping up and offering a wide range of beautifully crafted, timeless, fun and size-inclusive pieces in the lingerie space and I have recently been introduced to one such brand – IDENTITY LINGERIE. I was sent some of their lovely items to try out and review so let’s see what I thought…

About IDENTITY LINGERIE

IDENTITY LINGERIE is a small family-run sustainable business that was founded by Igor and Diana in 2017. As a former model, Diana felt first-hand the demand of having to fit into a certain beauty standard box and decided that she wanted to create her own brand that would allow a move away from this outdated focus and show that all shapes and sizes can feel beautiful, desirable and empowered through their clothing by offering a selection of garments available in a wide range of sizes, designs and customisable options.

The brand not only cares about its customers but also the environment and it strives to tick as many sustainable boxes as possible which I have listed below:

Zero Waste, Ethical and Sustainability Practices to Love

  • Ethical production by highly skilled artisans in Ukraine
  • All fabric remnants are turned into hair accessories and packaging pouches
  • They donate old stock fabric and leftovers to Ukrainian charities who then use these to produce linens for hospitals
  • Timeless designs – slow fashion, not fast fashion
  • Materials are carefully sourced in small batches to prevent overstocking
  • Pieces are produced in small batches to meet current demand meaning there is no overproduction
  • Customer responses are closely monitored to also avoid excess production
  • Returns are always resold (unless damaged)
  • Biodegradable and recyclable packaging materials are used
  • Inclusive ranges are available up to XXL and custom order options are available

IDENTITY LINGERIE Review

I was sent one of IDENTITY LINGERIE’s best-selling pieces, the long silky satin button up pyjamas and I also chose a stunning lacy navy blue lingerie set to help me move away from my frumpy mum underwear and start to feel more like myself again.

First Impressions

Well, IDENTITY LINGERIE does not fail to make an impression from the off. Their pieces arrived in a simple cardboard box with logoed paper tape. Inside, the items are encased in paper with a sticker to secure and then – and this is the stunning part – your chosen clothing is beautifully sealed in a silk pouch.

Long Silky Satin Button Up Pyjamas in Green

As soon as I pulled the pyjamas from their matching green packaging pouch I could instantly feel the high quality. These are made from a silky satin material to give that luxurious, elegant look as well as feel amazing during your night’s sleep. If you know me, you’ll not be at all surprised that I chose this dark green colour although the pink and navy did also catch my eye.

I opted for a medium in these because I need the extra material for my broad shoulders and long arms and in choosing this size I got the perfect fit on the top. The bottoms are a little big but as they are high-waisted this isn’t noticeable plus they are for sleeping in and I much prefer loose-fitting clothing in bed anyway. Now when I tell you that as soon as I put these on I felt very fancy and posh I am not lying. I have never owned a pair of pyjamas that immediately made me feel lavish, honestly, this look with the piping detail, the collar, the cute pocket, and the button-up design all with the silky material made me feel a million dollars, like I should be in some luxurious hotel room ordering room service whilst sipping champagne!

It just goes to show that IDENTITY LINGERIE has achieved their goal of making women feel amazing and empowered through their clothing. My other pyjamas (most of which could never be shown in a blog) will never be a match for these. I guess I will just have to build myself a nice collection of these ladies silk pyjamas.

Strappy Bralette and Lace Knickers

My other order was a stunning strappy bralette with lace knickers both in navy. You do have to purchase these separately but this makes it easier if you do have sizing differences or if you would rather mix and match. I chose small for the bralette and originally went for medium in the knickers, however, these turned out to be a little too big so I quickly and effortlessly sent them back to IDENTITY LINGERIE who quickly replaced them with a size small which was perfect – and which surprised me!

This set has just really helped me to feel like me again. Since becoming a mum I have stuck to so many comfy casuals both in ordinary clothing and my underwear because I just felt like that was the easiest option for everyday but what a difference it can make to how you feel about yourself just by popping some lacy, well made, sexy lingerie instead. The bralette not only looks good but it is supportive and extremely comfortable.

The knickers are stylish, cute and feel great. I will definitely be ordering more from their range, my underwear drawer is long overdue a refresh.

Overall Thoughts

I love the ethos and ethics of IDENTITY LINGERIE, this is a company who are showing how slow fashion can be achieved and how we can still own stunning pieces of clothing without impacting too much on the planet. If more brands chose to run their production in this way it would make such a positive difference.

If you are looking to make some sustainable changes but don’t want to compromise on quality then I’d highly recommend checking out IDENTITY LINGERIE’s website.

Reducing household waste is a passion of mine and we have dedicated the last few years to tackling areas of our home and lifestyle in order to remove single-use items and replace them with reusable alternatives. Once you start looking into it, the choices just seem to keep coming and honestly, it becomes a fun task that you can almost become obsessed with. One area where significant progress can be made is in the kitchen, where single-use products are commonly found. From plastic washing-up bottles to clingfilm, plastic freezer bags and surface wipes, not to mention the huge selection of cleaning products but the one I want to cover today is kitchen roll. Now, I am sure you are thinking “Kitchen roll?! Surely that’s not an environmental issue” but yes, yes it is. However, there is a solution – making the switch to reusable kitchen roll.

5 Effective Ways to Reduce Your Carbon Footprint and Live More Sustainably

We are all very much aware that climate change is already posing a significant threat, much earlier than many could have imagined. I know that sounds very heavy as an opener for a blog but we have just seen the hottest year on record and more frequent unusual weather patterns. However, there is hope, we know we have time to change and we know exactly what is required to reduce our carbon footprint. Now, I know a lot of people hate the carbon footprint term and the responsibility it puts onto the individual and I get that, there are companies and celebs contributing to climate change at a huge rate but I still believe that every little bit helps and if we can change just a handful of things in our lives that will make a difference then I am more than happy to do that… And I hope you’ve come here because you want to make a difference too. So, how can you do that and what is a carbon footprint?

Review: A Green Perspective on a Simba Refurbished Mattress

*Ad

As an eco-conscious person, when it comes to sourcing homeware items I will often turn to secondhand as my first port of call. There is always somebody out there getting rid of something they no longer need or use and their castoffs can quickly become another person’s gems. But what about those household items that need to meet hygiene standards, items such as mattresses? Well, this is one of those occasions where I would usually advise you to buy brand new. Of course, purchasing new doesn’t need to mean unsustainable, there are plenty of companies out there doing all they can to improve and excel in their sustainability measures one of which is Simba. However, you can now also buy refurbished products from Simba meaning you get that new feel with a used/returned product that is better for the environment and your wallet too. This service really caught my attention and I am going to give you my green perspective on it all in this review…
