In my last post, I talked about why it's so important to purchase your intimates from labels that treat their garment workers ethically. If you're wondering how to find these designers, I've done your research for you. Here are more than 60 lingerie and loungewear labels that have online stores, ship worldwide, and manufacture in countries with high labor standards or otherwise state that they are made ethically. Plus, they're all gorgeous. What could be better than that?
