Nice to meet you

Pepper is a DTC fast-growing, unabashedly confident bra brand intentionally designed to celebrate small chested bodies in all their glory. We’re on a mission to empower small-chested women of all body types to embrace the flat in flattering. Since launching our 470% funded Kickstarter in 2017, we’ve sold more than a million bras in 2022 alone, and have gone viral and been featured in Cosmopolitan, Glamour, Forbes, Oprah Daily, Vogue and many more.

What we’re proud of:

  • Small & mighty. Without raising traditional VC dollars, we’ve grown to eight figures in sales in just 5 short years through focused and profit-minded strategies.
  • Doing big things. Our vision is to create a world where ‘flat’ is no longer an insult, and where we take over our customer’s closet with solution-driven, highly curated, fit-first apparel.
