SUPPLIERS oF DIVERSE BASICS
We recently launched a resources section on our website! And we have a lot of plans for this! One of you lovely readers suggested we add a list of where to get basics in a range of skin colours.
So click here to see the companies we have found so far, but it is by no means comprehensive. A lot don’t sell a full range or don’t sell globally. I will say here and now that this site is run by two white women so we are by no means the authority on this, and I am writing this article to acknowledge the incredible discrepancies and ask for help.
Where do you get your basics from for a diverse cast?
Or are you a maker who has a business set up around this?
[And honestly if you are looking for a business idea right now can I recommend starting this up in England? It is sorely needed]
Or are you a maker that specialises in leotards/bras/show underwear etc and could make bespoke items?
We will add you to the list!
So far the suppliers we have found are
· Marks and Spencer
· Capezio
· Nubian Skin
· Naja
· Kahmune
· Asos
· Freed
· Tru-colour
It is a short list, please help us to expand it!

Thank you!!
