When it comes to underwear, it doesn’t get much better than natural fibers — organic cotton or soy undergarments are super comfy next to skin.
From one of my favorite UK-based online shops, natural collection, is one of my favorite patterns — polka dots. Smart and sleek, grey dots on black with a dash of black trim. these ditties (LEFT) are available as a set, or separately @ naturalcollection.com/
If you pine for something different, then this is for you — a new to the eco friendly-fiber-scene line made from pine, from France-based designer Sophie Young.
g=9.8 represents gravitational acceleration. how sexy! The company is sustainable, inside and out. Their natural fiber is wholly biodegradable and made from white pine tree-pruning (fresh white pine smells divine); the packaging is re-usable, and they decided not to label their garments — a new eco feature and comfort bonus.
Their garments (CENTER) are hot off the press, with many of the styles still being manufactured. patience is a blessing. But keep your eye on g=9.8, our friends across the pond; there’s sure to be a big splash soon.
And take a peek at hempclothiers for comfy new items for spring. I like their organic cotton, soy and spandex jersey Jericho Tank with built-in support, (RIGHT).
UPDATE: 2009 – alas, hempclothiers is no longer…

Yesterday had me running across the street to Trader Joe’s for something quick and simple around lunchtime. Browsing the aisles for something macrobiotic, I stumbled upon these miso and udon noodle bowls by Annie Chung. Not only are they 100 percent natural with no MSG or preservatives, they come packaged in the most handy biodegradable bowls.
(Quick decomposition = less harm to earth.)
If you can’t find Annie Chun’s products at your local store, you can order them online
