Long Sleeve Roll-Neck T-Shirt, Hot Fudge

Not Basics (formerly Pantee)

Not Basics is a UK label making everyday women's basics from certified organic cotton. The range includes leggings, bodysuits, T-shirts, tank tops and sweatshirts. The pieces are made for people who want to stop wearing synthetic fabrics like polyester and nylon, especially people with sensitive skin or sensory needs. The brand says two sisters started it. One lives with severe skin allergies and the other with sensory sensitivity. The business began as Pantee, which made underwear from deadstock T-shirts, before it changed its name to Not Basics. Its fabrics are OCS-certified organic cotton, and the brand says about 80 percent of its styles are GOTS certified. Labels are either printed or made from fabric offcuts, and tops are double-lined or cut from heavier cotton so they are not see-through. Good On You rates Not Basics Good overall: It's a Start for planet, and Good for people and animals. It found that the brand partly traces its supply chain and does not appear to use animal-derived materials. It also found no evidence of a Code of Conduct or of living wages being paid in the supply chain.
