For your body. For nature. For you.

We have small busts ourselves and feel completely comfortable with them. Our cup size has never been an issue for us - only when buying bras. We just couldn't find anything that really fitted us. We never wanted to hide our breasts behind push-ups or make them look bigger. They are simply right the way they are. That's why in 2011 we, Bianca Renninger and Gabriele Meinl, founded AIKYOU, the lingerie brand for small busts. Because we want all women with small breasts to feel beautiful and feminine. And, of course, we have always been producing our lingerie in a sustainable, fair and vegan way.

Finest premium quality

Not all organic cotton is the same. Our long-staple premium quality not only proves more durable, it offers a substantially thicker and wonderfully soft hand feel. Certified as “natural fibre from controlled organic cultivation“, our organic cotton is intelligently irrigated and can grow in natural crop rotation, without genetically modified seeds, synthetic chemical fertilisers or pesticides. This means less water consumption, a reduced carbon footprint, and improved health conditions for the cotton farmers.

Fairtrade

Our organic cotton is Fairtrade-certified and thus secures the livelihood of our producers with fair wage and work regulations. The yarn is spun in Baden-Wuerttemberg, Germany. This is also where the fabric is knitted, dyed, and cut before our undies are sewn in Croatia in a Fairtrade-certified workshop. All other materials are manufactured in Germany and Europe in an environmentally and socially compatible way, and to standards of high quality workmanship.

PETA-approved Vegan

For us, responsibility towards nature also means paying attention to animal welfare. That is why our production and packaging are animal-free. Besides that, we support various animal welfare organisations, like fawn rescuing, as well as bee and insect health projects.

OEKO-TEX® Standard 100

Since we are wearing lingerie directly on our skin, we have always paid attention to avoiding harmful substances. The OEKO-TEX® Standard 100 certification means that all our materials are unproblematic, non-allergenic and free of potentially toxic elements. This applies to everything from our threads to our lace, from our straps to our nickel-free clasps and adjusters. Our colours, too, are intensely bright and durable, but dyed in an environmentally friendly way. With these strict specifications, we further reduce the chemical impact on people and the environment.

Blue plante certificate

We are caring for our natural resources. Therefore, we support Naturefund's reforestation and climate protection projects with the Blue Planet Certificate, the only climate certificate that specifically works to protect ecosystems. At various locations around the world and together with the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ), the project plants trees, looks after primary forests and recultivates existing ecosystems: the most natural and best CO2 reservoirs we have.

Regional and partnership-based

Short routes, that is environmentally friendly transportation and communication, matter to us – as does a trusting cooperation with our suppliers and partners. That’s why we prefer to find them close to us, in Germany and Europe. Moreover, we can gain insight into their production conditions at any time. This refers to our fabric producers as well as to our print shop, or to the sheltered workshop for people with disabilities that hand-sews our packaging.

Timeless style

We produce our sustainable underwear in small quantities. Even during the design process, we consciously select materials to conserve resources. That's why we don't launch seasonal collections, which often cause large amounts of leftover material. Rather, we carefully add new parts to our model range. Because good style, which is fashionable yet not short-dated, will give you pleasure for longer. And that is, after all, the most sustainable thing you can do.

Always a bit better

We'd rather think twice, for example regarding our packaging materials, which are minimised; we use second-hand cardboard boxes; our packaging is recyclable, and everything made of paper comes from certified forestry. We buy green electricity, ship via DHL GoGreen, and also pay attention to all things eco in our personal lives. In addition, we keep questioning what doing business in a sustainable way actually means. For us, discount battles, which promote the fast fashion system, are not part of it.
