Nat'v Basics
We make basics that are better for people and the planet, so you can make more sustainable choices, from the bottom up. No frills or trims or awkward bits, just super comfy undies, made responsibly, using natural fibres and recycled materials.
Our commitment
nat’v isn’t one of your average apparel brands trying desperately to tick a sustainability box. We’re not backpedaling or looking for sustainable shortcuts to catch up and keep up with the bare minimum that is expected these days. We operate every facet of the business from a sustainability mindset. Creating a range of super comfy basics for women who want to choose a better, more sustainable option is the whole reason we built our brand in the first place. Our 2023 Sustainability Goals: - Create underwear that is 100% sustainable. We have been sampling our basics with the use of recycled polyamide and elastane. - New rating on Good On You from Good to Great! - Get B-Corp Certified. - Increase transparency and traceability in the supply chain. - Partner with organisations and initiatives to promote sustainable practices in the fashion industry. - Continuously monitor and improve sustainability efforts through regular audits and goal setting.
