2011 Best of Veganista: Clare Bare Bamboo Lingerie
Clare Bare Bewilder Bra ($68)
Question: How do you rock the retro-undie look without looking like you snagged your grandma’s panties? Answer: Clare Bare.
The Brooklyn-based designer handcrafts her retro-inspired-with-a-modern-edge underthings in limited-edition runs using upcycled vintage vegan fabrics (no silk here) blended with super-soft bamboo jersey.
All Clare Bare pieces are designed to be practical and comfortable enough for everyday wear, but sexy enough for, um, special occasions.
Take, for example, the Bewilder Bra. Yes, it’s super comfortable as a soft bra should be, but then there’s the fullness factor, resulting from an amazing contraption of bamboo jersey and elastic that pushes up without the uncomfortable underwire. Genius!
