Undies Made from Pine Trees

French Lingerie Goes Eco-Friendly

It’s Good: French lingerie company g=9.8, created by French designer Sophie Young, offers underwear that’s durable, exquisitely crafted, attractive, and very comfortable- the current line boasts “the comfort of silk, the feel of cashmere, and the coolness of linen.”

It’s Green: The g=9.8 line is made from a compound called LENPUR- a sustainable textile made from white pine tree clippings processed with enzymes into fiber. The clippings are managed sustainably, and harvesting coincides with normal tree pruning, so no trees are destroyed in the making of g=9.8 products.
