Ethical Production
Made in Barcelona
#Whomademyclothes?
FASHION REVOLUTION
We design and produce our lingerie with tremendous care in a workshop located in Barcelona.
Production in our hometown allows us to get involved in every step of the process. This also has the added benefit of developing a strong working relationship and friendship with the women in the workshop. Regular visits to the workshop gives us the quality time needed to verify firsthand that all workers are treated with dignity, are employed under fair working conditions, and ensuring there are no risks to their health.
We are deeply inspired by Fashion Revolution, the organization that leads the largest activist movement in fashion and its powerful address to many brands, #Whomademyclothes?
We wish to join this Revolution, to help give a better answer to this far-reaching question. This paradigm shift towards a circular economy must be led by companies, therefore, all of our actions are transparent and traceable.
If you are curious to know more, please visit our frequently asked questions (FAQ). And also you can reach us with more detailed questions at hola@umaintimates.eco.

sustainable fabrics
Choose your Sensuality. Choose our Planet.
The origin and quality of the materials we use is one of our most important pillars.
We put a lot of energy and resources into researching the best sustainable materials for our lingerie. Our mission is to work hand in hand with companies that share the same ethical values and commitment to shift towards a more humane economy.

LACE: Recycled polyamide
Our laces are made with recycled polyamide of Italian origin.
We know that the recycling of fabrics, sometimes, implies a greater impact on our environment due to the transformation process that they entail. For this reason, we investigated all our options and opted for a recycled polyamide that guarantees sustainability certification.
We know that the recycling of fabrics, sometimes, implies a greater impact on our environment due to the transformation process that they entail. For this reason, we investigated all our options and opted for a recycled polyamide that guarantees sustainability certification.
So why do we use recycled polyamide?
Because, this lace certifies the use of recycled materials and responsible manufacturing under strict social and environmental requirements, transparent and traceable.
STANDARD 100 by OEKO-TEX®
Certifies a correct analysis and control of substances harmful to health.
STeP by OEKO-TEX®
Certifies that the fabric production chain has applied environmentally friendly production processes and optimal working conditions, both in the field of health, safety and social responsibility.
TENCEL: Fabric made from the pulp of the Eucalyptus
Our lingerie is made with Tencel Lyocell, a sustainable fabric, with antibacterial properties. Tencel Lyocell is breathable, soft and comfortable to the touch, due to its elasticity.
Tencel Lyocell is an artificial fiber that comes from the cellulose of eucalyptus wood grown for this purpose and sustainably managed according to the FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) standard.
Its transformation to fiber is carried out with a non-toxic organic solvent through a closed-circuit production process that allows recovery and reuse of almost 100% of the material, meaning a greater efficiency in energy resources and a lower environmental impact.

ELASTICS
We have not been able to find elastics or eco-friendly fittings, if you know of a trusted supplier, please let us know by writing to hola@umaintimates.eco.
Our suppliers of elastics, straps and trimmings sit just outside of Barcelona, which allows us to reduce the carbon footprint derived from transport. All of them comply with the STANDARD 100 by OEKO-TEX® certification.
However, we continue our research for sustainable components to reach our goal of making underwear entirely with sustainable materials.
At UMA Intimates, we are committed to keep working to source and replace less-sustainable materials.

Sensorial Packaging
Eco·Design
Don't recycle. Instead REUSE!
Give a second life.
Give a second life.
The packaging in which you receive your UMA lingerie is eco·designed to have a second life.
This packaging is made with a unique sustainable material that simulates leather made of cellulose and latex fibers. When is immersed in hot water, softens and transforms into vegan leather.
You are part of this revolution, so with your imagination and intuition you can give a second life to your packaging by turning it into a vegan leather bag and reuse over and over again.

WE HAVE CREATED A SENSORY EXPERIENCE
You will receive your lingerie in a sensory packaging that is infused with Ylang Ylang essential oil, a revitalizing and energizing flower whose scent resurfaces when opened, infusing the soft and delicate lingerie fabrics, so soft due to its delicate fabrics that awaken the touch.
When the bag is opened, you will find the inscription on the inside flap “Loving myself is revolutionary”, as a reminder that every revolution begins within us.
You will find a card, beautifully illustrated with a symbol to honor the body of women and our connection to mother nature. As a gift, we include a relaxing feminine infusion, completing with the taste a journey experience through the senses.

Give your packaging a second life!
Transform your UMA packaging into a vegan leather bag. Follow these steps!
And if you feel like it, do tell us how you are repurposing your bag.
Give the tags a second life!
The tags attached to your lingerie are also eco-designed so that they have a second life as a bookmark for your favorite books.
You will find a QR code on them, which will take you to a video (each time it will be a different video), where we want to inspire you by telling you how each woman experiences her sensuality in a unique and individual way.

Do your part!
Your individual actions have a GREAT impact.
The success of a company lies in the approval of its customers, that is, sells! Customers approve what and how the company is doing.
If from today, you make the choice that your consumption can change how the economy works; suddenly having information about what are the companies practices is very important.
If we believed this is true:
Could we get companies to make a transition towards sustainability, towards a circular economy?
We think so.
This is our opportunity to make changes.
Our consumption is one way of expressing ourselves, of communicating our values and our ideologies.
Our consumption decisions mean much more than we might believe, and that power instills in us greater individual responsibility!
“Our consumption has great impact and we have an individual responsibility.”
Thank you for consuming ethical, local or re-purposed fashion. Thank you for taking care of your lingerie to make it last longer. Thank you for being interested in asking how your lingerie has been made. Thank you for mending your clothes and for your many other ways of loving our planet.
