Finance Assistant at Fast Growing Sustainable

A female-founded, British brand, Stripe & Stare was born in London and grown in the South-West countryside of the UK. Designed for the modern woman, too fun for frumpy underpants and too busy to wear anything uncomfortable that won’t support her throughout the day. Lovers of bold colours, a good print and knowing we’re dressing for no one but ourselves. We understand our terminology, and often our accents, are not universally understood. Briefs? Panties? Knickers? Undies? Call them what you like, their comfort speaks for itself.
