HOW IT ALL STARTED
Underprotection was founded by the couple Sunniva Uggerby and Stephan Rosenkilde, driven by the dream and motivation to bring focus on sustainability to the forefront of the lingerie industry. Later joined by
Jeanette Hansen, a completion to the founding team.
Together, the trio lead the company hand in hand with their dedicated team in Copenhagen.
The name Underprotection stem from our core values. 'Under' representing lingerie, the closest layer to our bodies, while 'Protection' signifies our commitment to protect and care for our environment and the people within it. Also, a promise of always protecting you from harmful chemicals and dyes when wearing Underprotection.
"The world doesn't need more clothes; in fact, there's already enough to meet our needs through buying secondhand. When we first started Underprotection, we were committed to ensuring that everything we created and introduced had a meaningful purpose. lingerie and swimwear are among the few items we rarely buy secondhand, which inspired the birth of Underprotection. Our mission is to make a positive impact by offering thoughtfully crafted and purposeful products."
