Twala Intimates

HistoryUnder The Root began as a personal homage to modern dance in 2005. Jennifer had studied dance at Columbia College Chicago with minors in business, philosophy, and liberal education. A specific need of undergear for dancers, performers, artists, eccentrics, and other free thinkers of experience was eye spied. This clarity leaped forward throughout the following years. It was permeated with research, development in pattern and design, body shape investigations, production analytics, and material studies. Although the exploration seems to be endless, an innate sense to coalesce the early twentieth century underground with our modern day responsibility overflows every facet of the business. Jennifer strives to organically expand this intimate brand, achieve complete sustainability at every stage of the manufacturing process, collaborate and exchange with the socially conscious community, and substantially support slow design as a means to heal our planet.SpecialtiesUnder The Root is an affectionate, intimate apparel design house that specializes in the compassionate and transformative revolution of sensual alchemy for body movement visionaries. Each design and entire process utilizes industrial hemp, organic cottons, sustainable and ethical practices, upcycled, reclaimed and many times vintage textiles. The studio is open to the public by appointment only.
