Founding Story
Our mission at BRABAR extends beyond guiding young women to find the perfect bra through education on proper fit and by offering a genuinely inclusive size range from AA to DDD/F; it's also about inspiring the next generation with unwavering confidence. We are leading a movement toward standardized bra sizing, aiming to go beyond the basic provision of comfort and support. At BRABAR, we're not just selling bras; we're committed to effecting transformative change and positively impacting young women's lives.
Witnessing my 15-year-old daughter's bra-shopping challenges firsthand, I knew that 8 out of 10 women wear the wrong bra size. This frustration fueled my determination to use my 20 years of experience in the intimate apparel sector to establish BRABAR, directly addressing the issues of inconsistent measuring and lack of inclusivity. At BRABAR, we are debunking the armpit method of measuring used by VS, the special measuring tapes used at Aerie, and the outdated and incorrect adding +4 to the band method in favor of the global standard ribcage method of measurement and standardizing bra sizing for the next generation. Our goal is to revolutionize the intimates industry, making it effortless for every young woman to find a bra that fits perfectly and boosts her confidence. At BRABAR, we're not just creating bras but forging a future where every girl feels empowered and supported.
