Abstract

Abstract Cat.sus: My sustainable lingerie brand in Taiwan By Cathy, Chan Yuk Ming The environmental and social issues caused by the fashion industry have developed wide attention. The situation becomes worse with the aid of fast fashion. In recent years, well-known fashion brands join the call for “sustainable and ethical brand”. In the report of “The State of Fashion 2021” from McKinsey & Company, it emphasizes the importance of sustainability through the value chain. Consumers value fashion brands that respect their workers and the environment. In Taiwan, local sustainable fashion brands are rising, but there are lacking sustainable lingerie brands. To fill in this emerging need from Taiwanese customers, Cathy’s Sustainable Undergarment Solutions (Cat.sus), the first sustainable and ethical lingerie brand that offer ranges of underwear made of deadstock materials, is ready to enter the Taiwan market. Extra miles are designed by the brand to further reduce textile wastage, carbon emission, and carbon footprints. Cat.sus also accentuates social responsibility. Local job opportunities are prioritized to necessary people, more-than-fair employee welfare is offered and the cooperation with a local non-profit organization to manage old underwear donation, all help the brand realize the ethical impact.
