At Maeve Design Studio, I take pride in not only creating exquisite handmade lingerie, but also doing so with a strong commitment to sustainability. My small studio in the UK is where the magic happens, and I want to invite you behind the scenes to see how I bring sustainable lingerie to life.

Craftsmanship with a Purpose
Crafting lingerie isn't just about creating beautiful garments; it's about making conscious choices that benefit both you and the planet. Here's a glimpse of our sustainable approach:
1. Ethical Sourcing: I carefully select materials that are ethically sourced and environmentally friendly. From deadstock fabrics to natural fibres, our choices reflect our commitment to responsible production.
2. Handmade-to-Order: Unlike mass-produced lingerie, every piece I create is made to order. This reduces waste and ensures that each garment is tailored to your unique specifications.
3. Small-Batch Production: I embrace small-batch production to minimize our environmental footprint. It allows me to focus on quality rather than quantity.
4. Local Craftsmanship: All of our lingerie is crafted by a one-woman-team right here in the UK. Supporting local craftsmanship not only reduces transportation emissions but also promotes supports local communities.
5. Sustainable Packaging: I use eco-friendly packaging materials, from recycled tissue paper to sugarcane mailers, to ensure that my commitment to sustainability extends to every aspect of your purchase.
6. Waste Reduction: Fabric scraps generated during the production process are repurposed or recycled. I always exploring creative ways to reduce waste!
7. Slow Fashion Philosophy: I advocate for slow fashion, emphasizing timeless designs and quality construction that lasts. My lingerie pieces are designed to be cherished for years, not just a season!
