Pansy is a small underwear and loungewear company in Oakland, California, founded in 2013 and now run by Laura Schoorl. Its garments are cut and sewn at a family-run factory in San Leandro and garment-dyed at a dye house in Novato, both in the Bay Area.
The brand traces its supply chain further than most. The organic cotton is grown in Texas, then spun and knit in North Carolina, and the elastic is made in Rhode Island. Local press confirms the San Leandro sewing, and the one imported input the brand names is the organic cotton sewing thread, made in India. With the fabric and the making both accounted for, this record sits at the top mark.
