Etsy's Top 5 Eco Panties For Valentines!

This Valentines is leaps and bounds ahead of last year if you are searching for retro, chic, sassy and also eco minded undies to impress that special someone. For years the UK's Enamore lingerie has reigned queen of the eco skivvies, and although though she is not dethroned from her pioneering beauty, there is certainly alot of sexy & adorable competition in the USA now! These cuties below are all from Etsy and are handmade with love by independent artists - making their work fair and affordable.Designer HOPELESS: "The Sally Shorts are inspired by Audrey Hepburn's character 'Holly Golightly' in the film 'Breakfast at Tiffany's'. They are a very simple and comfortable design, with a cute white bow at the front.They are made out of organic bamboo jersey which is silky soft and similar in touch to cashmere. " $35

Designer BOBELLY: "Yup, they feel as good as they look. these are made from a bamboo and organic cotton blend, with a tiny bit of spandex. that makes for very, very stretchy, soft fabric. I haven't used elastic in any of my panties; you can barely tell there's something on, yet they stay put all day (I don't even remember the last time I had a wedgie). Just a bit sheer...who says comfy can't be sexy?" $15

Designer DEVIL MAY WEAR: "Who loves bloomers? Or rather who doesn't! Burning man? Burlesque? Lounging around the house [my favorite]? How about under that adorable mini! These are in our most popular bikini cut undies in a soy/organic cotton /spandex blend." $25

Designer BROOK THERE: "Made of a charcoal gray organic cotton, and trimmed with pink lace and ivory elastic, this bra and panties set is both sweet and sustainable." $40

Designer UNDER THE ROOT: "'Like the Petals of a Lily' -The Bloomers have a galore of gatherings, holding your waistline and thighlines with Black Satin Elastics. The bustle left around your tush is just enough for desirable sweetness. Hugging your hipline in softy! Made of organic cotton jersey knit & black satin elastic." $35

New Organic Lingerie By On The Inside

Have you been wishing for some new organic lingerie to come on the green scene, the kind that is so comfy, so sexy and so totally organic!?! Me too! And the real kicker here is it is actually an affordable price (I know I know, it's like the Jeanie in the lamp really listened). Locally based lingerie designer On The Inside has now delved into using organic cotton in some of her skivvies, and aren't we all glad because her stuff is super cute and will be available at The Oko Box sometime this week! She not only is local to the Asheville NC area, but she uses organic cotton fabrics that are woven locally too by Spiritex. And to top that off Spiritex uses North Carolina threads to weave with. Crazy huh, and then The Oko Box is local to them. This is a very locally local organic lingerie project with a light footprint & we would like to share it with everyone! Be looking forward to some new organic panties, cami's and bra sets at The Oko Box.
