Embracing Sustainability
Perk by Kate believes in the powerful connection between women and nature. By tapping into nature’s feminine energy, women find the space within themselves to be in touch with their sensuality, heal, and empower. This belief drives Perk by Kate to prioritize sustainability in everything they do.
Sustainability, to them, means respect and pride for the world, the people they work with, and the products they create. They consider the entire life cycle of their products, striving to be considerate and accountable.
Perk by Kate acknowledges that sustainability is an ongoing journey with constant opportunities for improvement..
Transparent and Sustainable Lingerie
Perk by Kate wants to be transparent about their sustainability efforts. While it may not be possible to create lingerie made entirely from natural materials due to hardware, wires, bonings, and straps, they take a two-fold approach to sustainability. Their small-batch lingerie from Vietnam is not always fully traceable.
Still, Perk by Kate prioritises the human element by supporting over 20 individuals who rely on the business for their livelihoods. On the other hand, lingerie produced at their Chinese workshop follows strict sustainability standards. All partners, including those providing hardware, are OEKO-TEX 100 certified.
Natural fibres, such as cotton linings and silk loungewear, are used whenever possible. Perk by Kate focuses on creating essential collections that will stand the test of time rather than producing large volumes for growth.

Refurbishment and Packaging
Perk by Kate is committed to ensuring their lingerie lasts as long as possible. They offer minor refurbishing services for worn-out pieces and fit correction services to help customers find the right fit and extend the lifespan of their lingerie.
This dedication to longevity aligns with their sustainable ethos. Regarding packaging, all orders are packed in satin bags that can be reused for travel or storage. The paper packaging is made from recycled materials, and gift box packaging is provided only upon request.
Their signature tote bags have become beloved companions for various activities, appreciated by both ladies and even toddlers.
Inclusivity and Community
Perk by Kate’s vision is to fulfil the lingerie needs of women of all body shapes. They find immense satisfaction in designing products that cater to different body types. Currently offering 12 sizes, they fit ladies from 30A to 40C.
However, their work is not done as they strive to develop lingerie for ladies with cups D and above and band sizes 40 and above. Perk by Kate also values building a community and supporting local artisans.
Their lingerie studio proudly carries artisans’ products from Singapore and beyond, encouraging creativity and strengthening the local industry.

It Comes Full Circle
Perk by Kate goes beyond providing stylish and sustainable lingerie. They collect and donate used bras in good condition to disadvantaged communities, matching these much-needed undergarments with women who lack access or cannot afford them. By doing so, Perk by Kate exemplifies their commitment to making a positive impact and supporting those in need.
Perk by Kate is not just a lingerie brand but a beacon of sustainability, inclusivity, and community. From their thoughtful creation process and dedication to quality to their transparent approach and support of local artisans, every aspect of Perk by Kate is designed to bring joy, comfort, and empowerment to their customers.
