hi, we are ndrwr.
a new belgian underwear brand.
we are honest and sustainable.
a simple idea, done well: fabulously soft, smooth and sustainable underwear offering invisible support and comfort to all genders and ages.
all ndrwr products are made of 93% lyocell for softness & sustainability and 7% elastane to make sure everything fits just right.
lyocell
lyo-what?
lyocell is a plant-based fabric made from wood and cotton waste. we get the wood pulp from sustainable eucalyptus trees and to turn it into fashionable clothing fabric, we only need water and solvent. there is way less water needed than for cotton and thanks to a closed loop system, 99% of the solvent can be recovered. nice, huh? it’s not just nicer to our planet; it also feels super nice on your skin. lyocell is softer than cotton, cooler than linen and warmer than wool. it’s a small miracle, when you think about it. it’s wrinkle-resistant and wicks moisture away from the body so it doesn’t stick to your skin, so it’s a comfort upgrade on many levels. all of these properties make us love lyocell and inspire us to make products you will love and cherish, even when you’re not thinking about how sustainable they are.
the full package
we know ‘sustainable’ and ‘honest’ are big words. and we’re definitely not perfect. nobody is. we’re embracing that simple fact by being as nice as possible, to the planet and to each other. it’s not just about our products. when you choose ndrwr, you can rest assured you’re getting the full package when it comes to sustainability. as a matter of fact, our actual packaging is plastic-free, made from recycled paper. we don’t overproduce or try to keep up with fast fashion trends just to sell more. we have 9 products and make them as comfortable and sustainable as possible, for as many people as possible.
it's all love
we celebrate the beauty of all bodies. all ndrwr products are minimal in design for maximum inclusivity. nobody’s perfect, so every body is perfect. to feel comfortable in our products, we encourage feeling comfortable in your own skin. that’s why we don’t edit out those perfect imperfections in our photography. our current size range is from xs to xxl. we consciously try to show a wide range of people in our communication, appealing to all ages and genders. we’re just starting out so we are open to suggestions. do you feel like we’re missing something? feel free to contact us on how we can do better.
values
a word from photographer lieve blancquaert
“getting to photograph real men and women in their underwear is a real gift for me. all my life i’ve been bothered by the image of a ‘perfect body’ we create in ad campaigns. that’s why i loved working on the first campaign for ndrwr. we had a diverse cast and our models are all perfect in their own unique way. i think non-photoshopped people are much more interesting to look at so i’m happy with the honesty of these images. people with stretch marks, shorter or longer legs, rounder or flatter buttocks, bigger or smaller boobs, wrinkles, love handles: it’s all beautiful and real.”
