About Smith Bowen + Our Philosophy

Smith Bowen Organic creates ultra-feminine, compostable bra and underwear sets that are as kind to your body as they are to the planet. Sourced from forests, farms, and fields, our hand-dyed undergarments bring sustainable luxury into the healthiest homes. We’re known for meticulously crafted designs that support your well-being and the Earth. Every piece biodegrades at the end of its life, offering a thoughtful, low-impact alternative to overcrowded landfills.

At Smith Bowen, we move through the world with intention and mindfulness, honoring every living being and the planet we share. Transparency is at the core of what we do—ask us anything, and we’re always happy to share.

Our design process begins with an understanding of the fabrics we use and their journey. We work backward to create products that leave no trace. By avoiding landfills, we strive for a closed-loop, circular economy. Organic cotton is cultivated on regenerative farms and then crafted into our underlayers, which, at the end of their life, return to the soil, completing a soil-to-soil cycle. This is true circularity. Each garment comes with a wildflower-seeded hang tag to help continue the composting process because everything is connected.

"Sustainability is holistic." By caring for the Earth, we care for each other, and in doing so, we allow ourselves to live vibrantly. This cycle continues as long as we stay mindful of our impact—and that begins with our values.

The Designer: Renée

 A lover of all things magical and otherworldly. 

 Aware of the complex fashion problem, a decision was made to launch a sustainable, organic, eco-friendly brand to give conscious customers a healthy choice.

 How and what you buy sends a message that you care.

This is Smith Bowen's role in creating change for the better. Expanding and deepening public consciousness of the situation in fashion, the toxic chemicals we absorb,  the working conditions of women & children, and the impact it has on Earth. We are better together.

 Live wild!   Live Pure!
