About
Hanky Panky, a lingerie brand, prioritizes quality craftsmanship, innovative design, and customer happiness. Founded in 1977 by Parsons-trained designer Gale Epstein, the brand initially repurposed vintage clothing. However, its defining moment arrived in 1986 with the creation of a revolutionary thong, famously comfortable and virtually unnoticeable under clothing. This innovation, combined with a commitment to ethical and sustainable practices, propelled Hanky Panky to international recognition, with sales now reaching millions worldwide and a place in the permanent collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art. The brand’s focus extends beyond creating comfortable lingerie; it strives to foster open conversations about topics related to sexual health, body image, mental well-being, and relationships, aiming to empower women and celebrate the multifaceted nature of self-expression.
