ABOUT THE BRAS
As you may have guessed from my designs, I like to reveal what’s usually hidden — and that includes what you’re actually paying for.
Here’s a breakdown of what goes into each piece.

THE PRODUCTION PROCESSEach bra takes about 4 hours to make, package, and ship. I pay myself $25 / hour for that work. Because I’m self-employed, I must also set aside some coin to cover taxes. I am probably not charging enough for these things ... I haven’t even factored in the time that I will be spending on “business tasks”. But I want to keep prices as accessible as possible, for my fellow hot broke people. I know what it’s like to want beautiful things and feel locked out.

Additionally, 5% of the labor cost is always donated to a non-profit or mutual aid organization. This comes out to $6 per bra. Currently donations are being sent to Palestine Children’s Relief Fund.
