The Textile Innovation Podcast speaks to Gillian Ridley Whittle, founder and CEO of ethical underwear and clothing brand Peachaus.

Ethical underwear and clothing brand Peachaus was born out of a need to drive positive change in the fashion industry and wider world. The collection of underwear, lifestyle separates and sleepwear is crafted entirely from recycled Italian lace, ethically sourced cotton and sustainable bamboo. 

In episode 102 of WTiN’s Textile Innovation Podcast, we speak with founder and CEO Gillian Ridley Whittle about the evolution of the brand and the wider sustainable and ethical challenges in the lingerie industry. 

Whittle speaks about her extensive experience in the fashion and textile industry, having held top positions in companies including Topshop, Marks & Spencer and Target. 

She also touches upon how the lingerie industry has changed and adapted during her career. If you would like to learn more, please visit peachaus.com. 

This September, Whittle will be at Verve Festival giving one of her Naked Talks on the main stage. This is an event designed to help women feel comfortable in their own skin and have the courage to be themselves.

Peachaus has recently launched its latest crowdfunding campaign to expand its sales channels, build its community, and create memorable experiences.
