We’re not about engineering a bra that will shave five seconds off your PR, just like our main goal isn’t creating a lacy number for gettin’ lucky (although if you manage to do either or both in our bras, good for you, sister!). We make bras that make you happy. Happy because they fit just right and feel great no matter what you’re doing. Happy because the woman who designed them thought of all the details, leaving you with one – make that two – less things to worry about. And happy because, by buying a Handful, you bought a lifetime membership to our sisterhood of sass.

Welcome to the Girl’s Club. This brand is about more than bras, more than girls, more than the “girls” inside the bra. This brand is about Us, the bigger, plural, life-is-better-together Us. Handful recognizes that as unique and wonderful as we all are as individuals, where would we be without support, encouragement and love. As we build our brand, we build our pack. Consider yourself hugged.

Handful was started by fitness enthusiast, Jennifer Ferguson, in Portland, Oregon. Positive energy has fueled her 22 -year career as a group exercise instructor, teaching cycling, strength, dance, step, aqua, kick-boxing, rock climbing, yoga, and running. Jennifer has also competed in numerous endurance events such as the Boston Marathon.

After years spent searching in vain for a good sports bra, Jennifer decided to channel her frustration creatively. She designed and manufactured what she (and a lot of other female athletes) had been waiting for…that one sports bra that does it all! It has become much more than a sports bra for its admirers. The Handful is an everyday bra that takes you from workout to weekend, looking great by itself or fantastic as a layering piece underneath.

We are proud to be an approved mastectomy bra, supporting breast cancer survivors during treatment and their return to good health and fitness.

Manufacturing Plan

We have a great product that we’re going to make even better by moving our manufacturing to the USA from its current origin of China. To make this successful, we need your help to ensure that we can cover the initial raw material and labor cost increase in doing so as well as updating all our key brand marketing which is necessary for this major change. We will be transitioning the manufacturing in 2 stages. The first stage will include pads that we have had to procure from our old manufacturer in China and the second stage will be complete made in the USA materials with pads as well. Our plan is to have our prototype approved for all necessary parts in full as soon as possible but within 1-2 months of the campaign close.

Risks & Challenges

The risks to us moving our manufacturing onshore is finding materials at a reasonable cost to make a competitive product, especially factoring in an increase in labor compared to China. We don’t want to price ourselves out of the market and believe our product is a superior one that women love. However, our goal is to make this transition as smooth as possible without raising our pricing drastically to cover the additional costs of this move.
