We help customers feel empowered and comfortable and offer the best bra fit experience on the high street. Join us and be part of one of the most iconic brands in the world.
We currently have 26 stores across the UK and Ireland and are continuing to pop up in new locations as we grow. Our Head Office team are based in Central London and work closely with our store teams. Our values are at the heart of everything we do. They are the foundation for our unique mind set that guides our behaviours and determines our results. They’re a connection to our history and a guide for our future. And they’re the measure of success for how we do things today.
We are so passionate about what we do and love to work collaboratively to create an acclaimed working environment.
