Lingerie manufacturing in the UK: A slow fashion movement.
At a time when the phrase ‘Made in Britain’ has become a grey area, with many brands claiming the title when only a fraction of their product is produced within the UK, we rise above the noise. Have you ever wondered if anything is actually still made in the UK? With a recent shift in fashion manufacturing and consumer buying habits, we have seen the rise of a slow fashion movement, and at Something Wicked we are proud to be fully invested. “At Something Wicked, we feel deeply about advocating for our ‘Made in Britain’ standing,” says the team. “While we encourage everyone to buy British, we also ask consumers to look a little deeper. Not all ‘British’ purchases are created equally, and we want to be part of a movement that holds the industry accountable.” In this blog post we will talk through exactly why we are proud to say we manufacture in the UK with a fully transparent supply and manufacturing chain.
Our talented Leeds based team, is set up in an old mill building with a heritage that was once full of British manufacturing. Each luxurious Something Wicked piece is handmade from start to finish in our studio by our team of highly skilled sewing machinists. If you are interested in learning more about the process of how our items are designed through to the final finishing touches, read our blog “The art of creating Something Wicked Lingerie.”

We’ve called a halt to the assembly line, preferring to opt for a slower more craftsmanship approach to creating our opulent leather lingerie. We sew each item with time and care, to guarantee your beautiful lingerie will last you a lifetime. Our team of highly skilled seamstresses specialise in creating intricate show stopping pieces, and leather is our signature material, the base of all our seductive lingerie.
Here at Something Wicked we only make what we need. By doing this we strive to minimise waste, as we don’t over-make stock which is then left unwanted at the end of every season. We are proud to be a small batch manufacturer of underwear. We design our undergarments to be timeless, to never go out of style. Classic shapes and flattering lines are always at the forefront of our mind. We offer a fully transparent supply chain with a female led team who are treated with respect and paid fairly. “We strongly feel that you cannot empower women in one country and yet exploit them in another” says our Managing Director, Steff.
