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, and include an additional hour to account for behind-the-scenes labor (aka making tiktoks).
Additionally, 5% of the labor cost and profit margin is always donated to a non-profit or mutual aid organization. This comes out to $8 per bra. Currently donations are being sent to Palestine Children’s Relief Fund.
