Online clothing retailer PACT has recently launched a line of sustainable underwear by Yves Behar.
Yves Behar considered every detail with this sustainable underwear project: It's made with organic cotton, shipped in compostable bags, made according to environmental standards, 10% of the profits go to social and environmental organizations, and the print on the sustainable underwear is reflective of the organizations.
