We've been feeling pretty inspired lately. Not only are we surrounded by some pretty influential woman, but we're also continuously energised and uplifted by the wonderful ladies of Rose & Thorne. We truly love our ladies and aren't afraid to show it.

We thought we'd share a few of our favourite quotes from inspiring women, just like yourselves.

We've channelled this fantastic inspiration and achieved some pretty neat milestones recently.  We hit 1 million bras sold. We supported essential workers by providing free bras. We've donated over $100,000 retail value worth of knickers to Women's Refuge New Zealand. 

We're on a mission to keep changing women's lives, one bra at a time. We believe that bras shouldn't hurt, so we're committed to making comfortable bras, that are also affordable and great looking.
