This week, 9Honey sat down with Nat’v Basics founder Sandy Ronalds for an exclusive interview — and it’s one worth reading.

In a world drowning in fast fashion and surface-level “sustainability,” Sandy shares how Nat’v was born from a deep desire to do things differently. As a women-led Aussie brand, Nat’v has quickly become a name synonymous with sustainable lingerie in Australia — and this article tells the real story behind that mission.

The Interview: Behind the Brand with Sandy Ronalds

In the 9Honey article, Sandy opens up about:

• The frustration with greenwashing in fashion

• How she bootstrapped Nat’v from her Gold Coast home

• What it really takes to build a purpose-led business

"I wanted to make underwear that felt good — for your body, your values, and the planet."

It’s a rare, honest look at what it takes to run a successful eco underwear business in today’s world.

Why This Interview Matters

Too often, sustainable brands are reduced to a label. This interview highlights the human behind the mission. As an ethical fashion founder, Sandy has:

• Built a thriving brand with zero outside funding

• Scaled Nat’v while staying true to its values

• Created products that genuinely put comfort and consciousness first

This feature helps shine a light on the why — not just the what.

What Sets Nat’v Apart in the Lingerie Space

Nat’v isn’t just a brand. It’s a statement. We believe:

• You shouldn’t have to choose between comfort and ethics

• Fabrics should be soft on skin and on the planet

• Sustainability isn’t a trend — it’s a responsibility

All our underwear and crops are made using Lenzing Modal™ — a natural fibre from renewable beech trees — and shipped in plastic-free packaging. This is sustainable lingerie Australia can be proud of.
