Get to know our bra brands

At Harris Scarfe, we've always strived to empower our customers to feel confident in their underwear choices, by stocking some the best bra brands out there - think Berlei, Triumph, Fayreform, Bendon, Nancy Ganz, and Playtex, just to name a few. But when you're spoilt for choice with some of the most comfortable bras on the planet on offer, it can be a little overwhelming knowing where to start.

We've put together this guide to help you get to know our bra brands, so you can find the perfect bra for you! Whether you're after a super-supportive sports bra, a sleek t-shirt bra, or the ultimate bra for a bigger bust, you can find it at Harris Scarfe.

Berlei

Berlei is the go-to brand for sports bras for some of the world's top athletes, including tennis champ Serena Williams. Why? Because they're so effective in reducing breast bounce! The Shift Non-Contour bra, Serena's personal fave, reduces breast movement by up to 60 per cent, making it perfect for high-impact activities such as netball or HIIT workouts - or tennis, of course! Berlei's Support Factor technology is basically industrial-strength engineering for your boobs - keeping them in check no matter how hard you train. The fully adjustable and customisable straps give additional support, and can be crossed over to fit under your favourite workout tops. And of course, there's the mesh panelling, for extra breathability during even your sweatiest session.

Berlei are also famous for creating the bra so comfy, you'll forget you're wearing it! A Berlei Barely There bra is sold every minute, and there's a good reason they're so popular - they lift, support and smooth, and the pillowy-soft cups are seamless under your clothes. Available in t-shirt and lace styles in a variety of colours and prints, with coordinating briefs available for some styles, there's a Berlei Barely There bra for everyone, in sizes up to E-cup.

Fayreform

Fayreform are the leaders in bras for the bigger bust, specialising in creating comfortable bras with full coverage that are light enough for everyday wear. Fayreform bras offer the support and security you need in sizes up to 22G, without scrimping on the pretty features such as lace - check out the elegant floral embroidery in this beautiful Coral Underwire bra! They add clever features such as light boning and power mesh into the back strap of their bras, for extra support around the back and sides, and three rows of hook-and-eye clasps helps keep everything together and secure.

Playtex

Not everyone loves an underwire, which is why Playtex created their fabulous Ultralight Wirefree bra. These bras support your breasts like a comfortable sling, lifting and shaping from the sides and back, rather than scooping them up with a stiff wire. The comfortable, convertible straps can be adjusted to suit your preference, and the breathable, lightweight spacer cups give a gorgeous sheer illusion neckline, making it the perfect comfy bra for low-cut outfits.

Bendon

Bendon make beautiful, feminine bras with delicate lace detailing, making them a practical yet elegant addition to your top drawer. They're always adding pretty features, like the sweet pearl dropper on this Embrace Full Coverage Contour bra or the cute bows on the straps of this Geometric Lace Full Coverage bra, that make your everyday underwear a little more special. Bendon is the brand to look for if you want a bra that can take you effortlessly from the boardroom to the bedroom, without an outfit change!

Triumph

If you're a big-busted gal who would like to reduce the appearance of your breasts, you can't go past Triumph's Lacy Minimiser bra, which can bring your bust down by one full cup size. It's a great option for those who wear tailored shirts to the office, as it helps prevent that dreaded strained look around the buttons, and it's super-smooth under a t-shirt. Not only does it sculpt your bust, it also smooths out curves, and there are several colours and prints available. And the wide, silky straps have been designed to sit comfortably on the shoulders, rather than digging in like other heavy-duty bras can do.

Nancy Ganz

This is the bra for the gal with a social conscience! The Nancy Ganz range features several bras made from recycled nylon, so they're not only good for your breasts, they're good for the planet! The signature Nancy Ganz style is seam-free and supportive, with no scratchy tags or sewn-in labels. Their trademark Body I.D. technology offers unique support around the underarm area, so there's no gaping or digging in. Your bra is completely customisable to your shape, and there are both underwire and wire-free options available. Nancy Ganz also has a fantastic range of sculpting briefs and shorts, to help you disguise any lumps and bumps.
