While waiting for my sister to try on dresses at Nordstrom, I picked up a fashion magazine and read the following blurb:
Naja is a socially – conscious, luxurious, but affordable lingerie brand that empowers women.
I’ve tried to imagine how underwear can “empower” while having a social conscience, but failed.
they said much the same about george bush before they elected him and he did start a war or two!

It’s virtuous consumption. There’s probably some boilerplate about how it’s made by paying fair wages to the seamstresses and/or how a certain undefined percentage of their profits go to non profit orgs that help women and/or there’s a lot of “You Go Girl” messaging on the lingerie.
Or the lingerie is magical, like Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants or sentient.
