If you love RIXO’s vintage inspired dresses as much as we do, then you’re going to love this. The label has teamed up with sustainable underwear brand Stripe & Stare for a limited edition collection of super-soft and super-cool intimates.
Featuring RIXO’s signature statement prints on Stripe & Stare’s ultra-comfy sustainable fabrics, the pieces effortlessly blend style and comfort, and will inject your underwear drawer with some much-needed oomph.
This is the RIXO brand’s debut into lingerie and it’s everything we would hope for — leopard print, stripes, hearts, florals and polka dots adorn knickers, camis and bralets.

“I first met Katie at a networking event and funnily enough she was wearing a RIXO dress, and I was wearing her S&S knickers! After talking for a few years, we finally found the right time to collaborate,” said Orlagh McCloskey, co-founder and creative director of Rixo.
“We’re both customers of each other’s brands and have similar ethos’s around sustainability, diversity and female empowerment so it has been a joy to see this come into fruition,” added Henrietta Rix, fellow co-founder and CEO of Rixo.
Each piece is crafted from Stripe & Stare’s ultra-soft fabric, sustainably sourced from Beechwood Trees. This eco-friendly material uses 95% less water than cotton during production and is 95% biodegradable in just three months (compared to up to 200 years for some synthetic fibres).

Katie Lopes, founder of Stripe & Stare, commented: “Collaborating with fellow female founders is my favourite thing to do. I have long loved RIXO and creating this collection with Henrietta and Orlagh has been a dream. The polka dots, the stripes, the leopards, the hearts – the perfect union of amazing prints on the softest range of underwear and layers. We hope you love it as much as we do here at S&S!”
The range is truly for women and designed by women, with prices starting at £18 for classic knickers, £30 for bras, and £50 for knicker packs. The loungewear range also includes cosy staples like hipster shorts (£18), baby tees (£55), pointelle camis (£40), and polo bodies (£65), so you can layer up in style in this cold January weather.
