Under The Root is a fable inspired, intimate apparel label,
designing and supporting a conscious culture with hand structured
loungerie and boudoir accessories.  We utilize reclaimed, sustainable,
and many times vintage materials for each design and entire process.

This tree was planted as a seedling from Jennifer M. Brown in 2003.
It continues to grow connecting the vast performance background of
quick changes, sprinkled with a heaping dose of gathered materials,
to the wonders of nature and their fables through time.
When asked why underthings?  “I am intensely drawn to design pieces
which embellish even the most modest bodies.  Playful, demure,
and innocent winks of grandeur are a few of the themes which pull me
into the cutting table late at night.  I want people to whirl around in
their days and nights, storytelling their own fables or becoming
their own stories.”  The human body is magikal, the pieces are each
meticulously handmade, and therefore unique, as you, throughout
every seam.

We choose to believe that each cut is made from the hands and
minds of the delightfully eccentric and succinct elves, goblins,
sprites and unorthodox adjuncts of the landscape observer… hopefully,
we are not the only ones whom believe.  Their inspirations include
and certainly not limited to circus arts, vaudeville, parisian cancan,
modern dance, late 1800s burlesque, harmony, chaos, vintage, stage,
theatre, cabaret, and sauntering swoons.
Some say their sparkles have been here before the beginning of time.
