MATERIAL SOURCING

At Melissa Underwear, we prioritize comfort, health, and sustainability. Our design philosophy begins with responsible material selection. We use skin-friendly fabrics such as breathable cotton blends, antibacterial yarns, and seamless materials that are both comfortable and better for the environment. Whenever possible, we source materials locally within China to reduce transport emissions and support regional economies.

SUPPLIER RESPONSIBILITY

We carefully vet all our suppliers to ensure alignment with our ethical and environmental standards. We favor partners who operate low-waste production systems, use OEKO-TEX certified fabrics, and minimize the use of hazardous substances. This approach allows us to maintain quality while reducing ecological impact.

FAIR TRADE

Melissa is committed to ethical labor practices across our supply chain. We work closely with suppliers who provide fair wages, safe working environments, and legal employment protections. We avoid partnerships with factories that do not meet our strict compliance standards, ensuring dignity and respect for every worker involved in our products.

DURABILITY AND QUALITY

Melissa’s designs are made to last. From underwear for girls aged 6 to women over 60, each product is engineered with ergonomic, breathable fabrics that retain their shape and softness through regular use. By prioritizing durability, we actively discourage disposable fashion culture.

MINIMAL PACKAGING

Our packaging is made from recyclable, minimal-impact materials, including kraft paper bags and low-ink cartons. We consciously avoid plastic where possible and continue to research new eco-packaging solutions. Customers are encouraged to reuse or recycle our packaging.

CHEMICAL-FREE & ANTIBACTERIAL TECHNOLOGY

We use non-toxic dyes and finishes that meet stringent international health standards. Many of our products incorporate antibacterial properties.

ETHICAL LABOR PRACTICES

All Melissa Underwear products are made in China, in facilities we personally audit for safety, compliance, and fair treatment. We ensure our teams—from sewers to warehouse staff—are treated fairly, receive appropriate compensation, and work in secure, hygienic environments.

FEMALE EMPOWERMENT

Founded with a mission to promote body autonomy and confidence across all ages, Melissa is more than a brand—it’s a statement. We champion women’s health through thoughtful design, especially for girls in puberty, new mothers, and women in menopause. Our products are made by women, for women—and we aim to reflect this empowerment throughout our operations.

COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT

Melissa actively supports body education initiatives, especially around adolescent health and hygiene. In the future, we plan to collaborate with schools and women’s organizations to distribute health education kits and donate undergarments to underserved communities across Asia.

CERTIFICATION & QUALITY ASSURANCE

We strive to work with suppliers who meet ISO, OEKO-TEX, and BSCI certifications, ensuring traceability, sustainability, and accountability. Our internal team conducts periodic checks to maintain quality control and product safety across every batch.

CONSUMER EDUCATION

Our website and product pages provide clear, transparent information about materials, functions, and product care. We also maintain an open channel for customer inquiries and are currently working on developing a Sustainability FAQ to help educate customers on how to care for their underwear responsibly.

Sustainability is not a destination—it’s an ongoing commitment. At Melissa, we continually monitor advances in textile innovation, packaging, and circular economy models. We are exploring recycled fiber integration, modular design, and take-back programs to further reduce our impact. Feedback from our customers and partners fuels our commitment to improvement.

As a proudly independent Chinese brand, Melissa Underwear is committed to offering ethical, health-conscious, and sustainable undergarments for women and girls of all ages. By focusing on ergonomic design, safe materials, and conscious production, we aim to redefine underwear—not as a fashion object, but as a tool of empowerment.

Through each product and partnership, we take one step closer to a more sustainable, equitable future for the fashion industry.
