Why is coffee grounds lingerie so special?Lingerie made from coffee grounds, also known as 'coffee lingerie' or 'coffee fiber lingerie', has a number of special properties that distinguish it from traditional lingerie. Here are some reasons why lingerie made from coffee grounds is so special: Sustainability : using coffee grounds as a raw material for lingerie is a form of recycling and reuse. Coffee grounds are a common waste product that would otherwise be thrown away. Using it in lingerie production reduces waste and provides a more sustainable alternative. Environmentally friendly : Coffee grounds are a natural material and the production of lingerie using coffee grounds generally has a lower impact on the environment compared to traditional textile production. It requires less water and energy consumption and no harmful chemicals are used in processing. Odor absorbing : Coffee grounds are known for their natural odor absorbing properties. For lingerie, this can help reduce unwanted odors, maintaining a fresher feeling even after extended wear. Moisture regulation : coffee grounds naturally have moisture-regulating properties, which absorb and drain moisture from the skin. This can contribute to a more comfortable feeling when wearing lingerie, especially during activities that involve perspiration. Antibacterial : Studies have shown that coffee grounds have antimicrobial properties, meaning they can inhibit the growth of bacteria. This can help keep the lingerie fresh and hygienic for longer.

Where is our lingerie produced?Our lingerie is produced in Estonia, which is within the European Union. It is a small sewing studio. They follow the principles of fair trade in production and good working conditions for its employees. They do not use child labor and pay the seamstresses a higher wage than the Estonian average for the same position. Strict precautionary measures are taken at the production workplaces to ensure the safety of employees. Since 2020, they have been a certified member of Fur Free Retailer (FFR), which means that they do not process fur in production. Only high-quality materials are used from transparent and reliable European suppliers. Below, the seamstresses from production and the photo below, Merle, from the sample department:

Can our lingerie be made from 100% coffee grounds?Unfortunately it is not possible to work with 100% coffee material. Coffee material needs a mix to be able to make fabric from this, because 100% coffee material falls apart. The coffee material is mixed with recycled polyester (PET). Polyester is the most commonly used fiber in the clothing industry. The polyester yarn provides elasticity in the fabrics. That is why it is widely used in sportswear, underwear and swimwear.

Small return shipping feeWe charge a small fee (3.50 euros) for returns in the Netherlands. We do not charge any shipping costs for the shipments themselves, the reason being that we want to lower our threshold for getting to know our sustainable lingerie.
