What Under + Beneath does

Amelia Tombs and Chloe Grant are UK co-founders of Under + Beneath, a fashion-tech startup on a mission to fix the bra industry. Most bras are mass-produced, badly fitting, and terrible for the planet. Amelia and Chloe are changing that by creating sustainable, custom-fit bras designed around real bodies. Amelia learned how big supply chains work at Amazon and Unilever, and Chloe is a sustainable fashion designer who also writes the Making Sustainability Sexy newsletter. Together they are proving fashion can be beautiful and planet-friendly at the same time.
