Lingerie and underwear made in the Netherlands
Lingerie and underwear require precision: a good fit, a pleasant feel on the skin, and reliable quality. Atelier Jungles helps brands and organizations develop and produce lingerie and underwear in small to medium-sized batches, locally in The Hague.
We combine technical knowledge of fit and materials with sustainable choices and a transparent production process.
For whom we make lingerie and underwear
This service is intended for brands and organizations looking for a reliable, sustainable production partner for lingerie and underwear. For example:
- brands that want to launch a new lingerie or underwear line
- sustainable labels that want to bring production (partly) to the Netherlands
- organizations that want to have underwear or lingerie made as part of a collection or campaign
- initiatives that seek comfortable basics with fair, traceable production
Are you unsure if your project fits? In a short intake, we will look at what is feasible in terms of design, quantity, and budget.
Fit and comfort are central
Lingerie and underwear are worn directly on the skin. Therefore, fit and comfort are more important than with many other garments. In the process, we pay extra attention to:
- patterns and cuts that fit the body beautifully
- seams and finishing that do not irritate or chafe
- elastic bands and straps with the right tension and support
- balance between design, functionality, and wearing comfort
We work with samples, fittings, and feedback rounds, so that the fit is correct before you go into production.
Sustainable materials for lingerie and underwear
Because lingerie and underwear are worn close to the skin, material choice and finishing are especially important. We think along about options that are both comfortable and more sustainable.
Materials
- organic cotton and soft cotton blends
- modal, Tencel, and other breathable fibers
- recycled fibers where technically possible
- elastic bands and notions with good skin tolerance
Sustainability
- materials with longer lifespan and colorfastness
- smart patterns to reduce cutting waste
- possibilities for residual material use in small accessories
- transparency about origin and processing

Our approach for lingerie and underwear
The process for lingerie and underwear aligns with our general approach to clothing production, with extra attention to fit and comfort.
- Introduction and briefing - we discuss target audience, type of lingerie or underwear, style, sizes, quantity, and budget.
- Design and patterns - based on your sketches or references, we develop or refine patterns, including seams, elastics, and closures.
- Samples and fittings - we make samples in our workshop in The Hague. You test them in practice and provide feedback on fit, feel, and details.
- Refining and production planning - we process feedback, finalize the design, and create a clear production schedule.
- Production and quality control - production takes place in our workshop, with attention to consistent fit and finishing across all sizes.

Lingerie and underwear in small quantities
Not every brand wants to start with large quantities right away. Especially with lingerie and underwear, it is wise to first test in smaller quantities and gather feedback.
- test collections in limited quantities
- step-by-step build-up instead of a large launch
- space to refine designs between production rounds
The minimum order quantity depends on design, number of sizes, and material. In a production consultation, we make this concrete.
Socially and locally produced in The Hague
Having lingerie and underwear made at Atelier Jungles means not only a product that is right, but also a production that is right.
In our studio in The Hague, skilled workers with different backgrounds work. Where possible, we provide space for people distanced from the labor market. This connects your brand to:
- local employment and craftsmanship
- transparent conditions instead of anonymous production
- shorter supply chains and less transport

Frequently asked questions about lingerie and underwear production
From what order quantity can you produce lingerie and underwear?
The minimum order quantity depends on the type of product, number of sizes, and material. We work with small to medium-sized runs. During a production consultation, we will see what is suitable for your project.
Do I need to have a fully developed design already?
No. Sketches, reference pieces, or a clear direction are enough to get started. We help further develop the design and technical details.
Can you help with patterns and samples?
Yes, we develop or refine patterns and make samples in our studio. Fitting and adjustments are standard parts of the process.
Do you work with sustainable materials for lingerie and underwear?
Where possible, we work with organic, recycled, or otherwise more sustainable materials suitable for underwear and lingerie. We advise you based on target audience and desired appearance.
Is production outside the Netherlands also possible?
Our focus is on local production in The Hague. This provides the most control over quality, working conditions, and communication. We always discuss external collaborations transparently.
