Clare Bare is a Brooklyn based artist and designer specializing in eco-friendly lingerie made from bamboo jersey and vintage fabric. All of her pieces are made locally using sustainable design practices, and are structured to flatter your body in a natural way without the use of constrictive hardware. During her years at Parsons, Clare collected and drew inspiration from vintage textiles that eventually piled so high that there was no more space to work. Soon after, “Clare Bare” was conceived out of the need to give her piles of fabric a purpose, and to make good use out of a clever name. Today it is an ever growing business fueled by passion and created for passionate consumers.
Now through Sunday night (1/22/12) LovingEco is hosting a 50% off Clare Bare lingerie sale! I highly recommend taking advantage of this sale since the timing is absolutely perfect for Valentine’s Day. Buy something beautiful for yourself or someone you love.
The icing on the cake is knowing that 3% of net proceeds support Wholesome Wave which is an organization that makes locally grown fruits and vegetables accessible to under-served communities.

It’s great that t there is such creative producer in this category. I had a good time wandering around the website, though I was surprised how thin the selection was. I’m still considering ordering the black boy shorts, but honestly, my days of an lingerie drawer that consist of mostly black items is in my distant past. I’ll be searching now for designers who are doing more with color. In the mean time I will hang on to my Cosabella which may not be organic but the producer is eco-aware.
Also the bamboo fiber technology has come under question specifically related to how much toxic waste goes into the eco-system during production. While bamboo is renewable, it seems that organic cotton, hemp, and linen still provides the smallest footprint.
Nice lingerie! It looks like very good quality too! They only thing is the lack of variety of colours, but maybe in the future, she’ll add more. 🙂
I like the colours a lot, and the design. I’m not sure about the negative aspects associated with the production of bamboo fabric, but certainly hemp and cotton are very eco-friendly. Good on you Gretchen and go Clare Bare. Anything environmental and vegan conscious is to be applauded loudly.
