For my birthday recently, my boyfriend planned a wonderfully romantic evening, complete with a private salsa dance class, prix fixe dinner, and an overnight stay at a downtown NYC hotel. As silly as it might sound, as a native New Yorker, the prospect of staying in a hotel in my home city fills me with pure glee.
When he shared the news, I was transported from my day-to-day metropolitan routine of bodega bagels and overcrowded subway platforms to a tourist’s skyline-colored vision of the Big Apple. Instead of waiting in line at Trader Joe’s, I could take $7 M&M’s from the mini fridge.
Instead of diving from my standing shower straight into my bed because my landlord has the heat permanently set to 66 degrees, I could soak luxuriously in a steaming jacuzzi tub. Instead of hauling half my body weight’s worth of clothes to the laundromat, I could leave a towel on the floor.
“…when I first discovered lingerie from Wolf & Badger – I was intrigued – they‘re building a community of ethical brands and conscious consumers who positively impact the world.“
To prepare for this luxurious overnight b’day, I wanted to treat myself to some fresh lingerie! I went online and began perusing. I wanted to find something sexy, yet delicate, affordable, yet well-made, and somehow not the typical. I searched all my usual places but couldn’t find exactly what I was looking for. So then, I started searching somewhat random phrases that evoked my vision: “weekend lingerie,” “boudoir looks,” “spicy bedroom”. This is when I first discovered Wolf & Badger – I was intrigued.
Ethical Lingerie? Really?
Wolf & Badger is a terrific example of what a good online emporium should be. This website features a meticulously curated selection of designers, presenting a carefully edited collection of intimates that combines eroticism with style. They truly hit every mark: you can find full bra sets, lacy bodysuits, silk camisoles, lounge wear, and more.

I felt so relieved to be able to shop based on an overall theme to fit my vision for the night, rather than having to comb item by item through a disorganized website. Wolf & Badger also offers “Curations” for you, taking all the leg work out of the shopping experience. Themes include, “Time to Party,” “Date Night Looks,” and, mysteriously, “No Nasties.”
