Stripe & Stare

Stripe & Stare is a female-founded British brand with a simple but powerful mission: to make the most comfortable knickers in the world. Founded in 2017 by Katie Lopes and Nicola Piercy after years of research into sustainable fabrics, the brand has built a devoted following — from Wimbledon Village to Oprah Winfrey's Favourite Things list — on the strength of one extraordinary fabric. TENCEL™ Micro Modal, derived from sustainably sourced beechwood trees in Austria, is scientifically proven to be three times softer than cotton, breathable, and durable enough to wash beautifully season after season. Stripe & Stare is a certified B Corp, and their commitment to sustainability runs through everything — from biodegradable packaging to compostable lace. This is not fast fashion; it is underwear built to last and designed to be worn every single day.

We have stocked Stripe & Stare for around five years and it has built one of the most loyal followings of any brand we carry. The knickers come in a wide and ever-changing range of colours and prints — classic neutrals, bold fashion shades, and fun seasonal designs — which is exactly why our customers love them. Many of our customers invest in a beautiful European bra from one of our other brands and then add a pack of Stripe & Stare knickers in a complementary colour — a clever way to build a coordinated lingerie wardrobe at an accessible price point. Individual pairs start at £18, with packs of four from £50 — exceptional value for the quality. We stock the original knicker, the high-rise knicker, the Brazilian thong, and a soft bralette. We also absolutely love the Stripe & Stare pyjamas — made in the same extraordinary Modal fabric, they wash beautifully, come in the most joyful prints, and can be matched to your knickers for a completely coordinated look. I wear them myself and can wholeheartedly vouch for how good they are.

Sizing is straightforward — Small (UK 6–8), Medium (UK 10–12), and Large (UK 14–16) — and the four-way stretch fabric means they fit comfortably across a range of body shapes. If you'd like advice on which styles or colours to pair with a bra from our collection, we're always happy to help — visit us at our luxury lingerie boutique in Wimbledon Village, London, or get in touch by phone or WhatsApp.
