Bras

Bandeau

A strapless bra which provides light to medium support. The Ambra padded bandeau is created with a circular knitted tube with extra support knitted into the under bust and neckline bands so it stays in place. A seamless and comfortable
option to wear with your everyday strapless tops.

Moulded

This bra uses moulded foam cups to create a more structured bra, it is comfortable and supportive. Our moulded bras come with adjustable straps for added personalised support.

Crop

A crop is a comfortable, unstructured alternative to a bra,
which generally consists of no hook and eye closure. Sizing is based on the band size, rather than being measured by cup sizes. They are comfortable and easy to wear, whilst providing support for your
everyday.

Shaper

A shaper bra is comfortable whilst providing lift, shaping, and added support. They are unstructured and easy to wear, perfect for your everyday needs.

Wirefree

A bra without the underwire, designed to provide support and all-day comfort. Wirefree bras utilise alternate technology to lift, shape and support your bust without compromising on comfort.
