Product Overview
What This Block Is And Why It Exists
This is the full bra capability rather than a single style. Push up, one piece moulded, disposable, plain dyed, printed, invisible, maternity, cup, convertible strap and sport bra constructions all run through the partner base.
A bra is an assembly, not a cut and sew garment. Cup, wire, hook and eye, ring, slider and strap each come from separate suppliers with separate lead times, and a bra programme is managed around those components.
Fabric options run from cotton and modal through nylon and polyester spandex to merino wool blends.
Key Benefits
- Ten bra constructions available through one point of contact.
- Component sourcing managed against your approved samples.
- Fabric platform shared with the panty range for matched sets.
- Partner mills audited to BSCI, SA8000, ICS, GOTS, Sedex and OEKO-TEX Standard 100.
Application Scenarios
Where This Block Is Used
- Full intimates ranges
- Maternity and wellness ranges
- Sport and activewear brands
- Chain retail bra programmes
Who It Is For
- Brands who need several bra constructions from one supply chain.
- Buyers building matched bra and panty sets.
- Maternity and sport labels needing specific constructions.
- Retailers running a bra programme across a full size run.
Problems It Solves
- Bra programmes are late because of components, not because of sewing capacity.
- Different constructions get placed with different factories and never match on colour.
- Cup moulds are tooling, so a late shape change resets the whole timeline.
- A single size sample tells you almost nothing about how a bra grades.

Materials
Fabric Platform
All blocks run on the same fabric platform, which is what lets a mixed range share one lab dip round and one colour card. Colour is approved on physical lab dips, fabric swatches and print strike offs.
Colour card and Pantone references used at lab dip approval.
| 95% cotton / 5% spandex | The default for briefs, trunks and boxer briefs. Soft hand feel, good recovery, easy to print and dye. |
|---|---|
| 95% modal / 5% spandex | Cooler and more fluid than cotton. Popular for womens panties and premium mens ranges. |
| 95% bamboo / 5% spandex | Marketed as a sustainable option with a very smooth surface and good moisture handling. |
| 90% nylon / 10% spandex | Higher stretch and recovery. Used for seamless bonded styles and sport ranges. |
| 95% polyester / 5% spandex | The base for sublimation printing, which needs a polyester rich surface to hold the ink. |
| Merino wool blends | Available for bra and base layer programmes where thermal performance is required. |
