If you choose to stock up on undies before your holidays, then our multipacks are the perfect choice. Buying packs saves on money, but not on impact. Every purchase of our packs will double, triple or quintuple your impact! We work with Smalls for All, a Scottish charity dedicated to collecting and distributing underwear to vulnerable women and children in Africa and the UK. We donate underwear through your purchases, and they then distribute it to whoever needs it most.
Finally our colourful Mara range is the perfect choice for holidays, our matching sets double up as a bikini, saving you precious luggage space. Made from double-lined organic cotton fabric, they're super comfortable, retain their shape and don't go see-through when wet.
Happy Holidays all!
