Hey! I'm Cindy, co-founder of Lara, a sustainable underwear brand launching 2017. Working in fashion, I was totally turned off by complicated, unethical supply chains and the low quality products on the high street. So I teamed up with my business partner and best friend to start a new kind of underwear brand.
We use luxury surplus materials reclaimed from all over the world and manufacture in our London studio. Best of all, we get to train an amazing group of women in how to lingerie design and construction - a skill that is pretty rare in the UK today.
