He designed underwear that would make sure it never happened again — to him or anyone else.

The Sustainability Edge

From farm to finish, Step One’s supply chain is independently certified as ethical and sustainable. Organic bamboo needs less water, no pesticides, and produces luxuriously soft fibres that outlast cotton. FSC-certified packaging is fully recyclable, and factory partners meet strict ethical manufacturing standards — making each pair a win for your wardrobe and the planet. And yes — they’ve got the independent audits to prove it.

The Designers

Founder Greg Taylor created Step One after a multi-day hike in NZ left him battling chafe. What started as a personal fix is now a global bamboo underwear empire, worn by Olympians, cricket captains, and netball greats — many of whom became investors.
