A fascinating fact about premium bra brands is that they are almost all sold only in small bra stores.
To many of you these brands are well known but for those of you who are learning about bra brands, where to buy bras, or how a bra should fit (if you are thinking, “is there a bra that fits?”, this is for you!) knowing these brands and their availability will help you find the right bras that fit you.
Finding a brand that makes a bra that fits you, makes all the difference.
The classic brands have been around for over 100 years. Prima Donna (1865), Anita (1886), Marie Jo (1919) or over 50 years like Empreinte (1946).
We analyzed all the bra stores in Canada. We checked their website, Instagram, Facebook, and Pinterest to see what brands they sold. This list is not exhaustive, stores carry more brands than they advertise. This is very informal, but a good baseline of bras in Canada.
We excluded the Direct To Consumer bra brands like Knix or Third Love. We also excluded mall brands like La Senza, La Vie en Rose, Change Lingerie, or Victoria’s Secret. This is only a look at small bra stores and not the whole lingerie Canada market.
