What do our labels mean?

Stripe & Stare says its founding purpose has always been changing the world, one pair of knickers at a time, with a focus on female solidarity and sustainability. The brand states that over 90% of its range is produced using TENCEL™ fibres, and it has introduced EcoVero Viscose and Eco Mesh made with 85% recycled polyamide. It also uses plastic-free packaging, has worked with Climate Partner on its carbon footprint, and has partnered with Ecologi since 2020.

Plastic-free warehouse

We have a plastic-free warehouse, with all products packaged and stored in cardboard boxes or compostable bio-bags. Orders are distributed to customers in recyclable paper envelopes or boxes.

Carbon footprint measured

At the end of 2023, we worked with Climate Partner to work out the Carbon footprint for our offices in both Devon and London, as well as our Devon-based warehouse. In total, we used 22t CO2e.

Ecologi partnership since 2020

We are extremely proud to have partnered with the climate action platform, Ecologi, since 2020. As of April 2024, we had supported the planting of over 117,000 trees and the prevention of over 276 tonnes of CO2 from being emitted through 49 verified carbon avoidance projects.
