Panda-Monium (Boxers)

The Material 

After considerable research into a sustainable fabrics for our boxers, we got pretty comfortable with Modal (you will too when you try them on).

Modal is a semi-synthetic fabric made from the pulp of Beech trees, the manufacturing process uses a closed loop system which limits waste, and which requires much less land area and water use than cotton. The resulting fabric is breathable, absorbent, durable and incredibly soft to touch - perfect qualities for our boxers, oh and it’s also completely biodegradable. 

In an attempt to limit plastic packaging, these boxers come in a bamboo tube which can subsequently be used however you like, but work well as a sunglasses case, piggy bank, plant pot etc. 

Further details can be found in our Sizing & Product Care section, but we recommend washing in cold water and not tumble drying. 

The Design

Whilst currently only found in the bamboo forests of China's Sichuan, Shaanxi and Gansu provinces, the Giant Panda's natural habitat used to stretch across Southeast China, even into Northern Vietnam. Whilst not an iconic symbol of Hong Kong per se, the loss of habitat and resulting classification as an endangered species is an important reminder of the impact we have on the natural world around us. Those interested in witnessing this cuddly giant can visit Ying Ying and Le Le at Ocean Park in HK, or take a trip to the breeding centre at Cheng Du in Central China.
