Colieco Lingerie – Ethical Fashion

This week I am focusing on one of my favourite ethical fashion brands, Colieco Lingerie. A bit of a different blog post, it’s me in my undies!!

Sadly our holiday to Tenerife was cancelled because of the Corona Virus, I was hoping to show this beautiful set off there and wear it as a bikini. Therefore, I’ve got to show it off here instead!

I’ve been following Nicole and her brand Colieco Lingerie for sometime so I was super flattered and excited when she reached out to me and wanted to gift me a set to share on my Instagram. As I was allowed to choose anything I liked and it was quite a hard task.

Fabrics

As an Ethical fashion brand Colieco Lingerie use sustainable fabric either low-carbon material, or is reclaimed from industry dead stock, line-ends or off-cuts otherwise destined for landfill. So many of the prints are limited edition or ends of rolls. This means you never know when they’ll be gone for good, so you need to order fast! As soon as I saw the beautiful Rose print fabric, Rose Noir, I knew it was the one for me. Anything red or rosy I instantly fall in love with, its in my name, Ruby Rose!

Another beautiful fabric they use is 100% sustainable bamboo silk manufactured in a closed-loop system and carries OEKO-TEX certification, meaning that it is guaranteed free from harmful substances.

Closed Loop Systems

Closed loop systems are made use a lot fewer toxic chemicals, and the chemicals that are used as retained in the loop and used again and again in the system to create more fabric. This means the chemicals don’t get released into our environment. Win, win. Look out for sustainable fabrics like this when you’re shopping. More information about the fabric Colieco Lingerie use can be found here.

Manufacturing

Another great thing that keeps Colieco Lingerie a sustainable brand is their manufacture process. Everything is made to order in their small studio in Portugal. I just sent over my measurements and received this perfectly fitting set. Totally unique to me! It feels so luxurious and the quality and contruction is amazing.

Please note, I was gifted this set in exchange for an Instagram post. The choice to write this blog post was all my own. You can find links to my favourite brands on my Resources page
