Company Overview

Knickey is a DTC women's underwear brand offering the best basic briefs from certified organic cotton--by women, for female-identifying humans. Making organic the everyday option through elevated, affordable intimates, Knickey is for the woke woman who seeks comfort, versatility, durability, and certified sustainability. GOTS, Oeko-Tex and Fair Trade certified to be exact. Because it's better for your body, your wallet and our world. Beyond Knickey's tight edit of the ultimate undies in real hues, their sustainable packaging is thoughtfully designed to be reused - specifically, so you can send back old underwear when you get your new and improved. Knickey's recycling program aims to improve system circularity for an otherwise disposable product and rewards you for the act. For convenience (and cost savings) Knickey offers a subscription service for recurring deliveries that runs in conjunction to the recycling program. Knickey is run by co-founders Cayla O'Connell Davis, and Lauren Sagadore. Davis is an Accredited Green Professional (SFC) who’s held high-level positions in sustainability, design and retail at industry-shaping companies. Lauren Sagadore’s past work includes ecommerce logistics, fashion resale and project management for tech startups. The pair met while completing Master’s Degrees at Parsons The New School for Design in Fashion Studies.
