Nice to meet you!

Pepper is a DTC fast-growing, unabashedly confident intimate apparel 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 love their bodies as they are.  Since launching our 470% funded Kickstarter in 2017, we’ve sold more than a million bras in 2023 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 7 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.
• Good for people & the planet. We are intentional about our impact, from how we give back to communities all the way to our factory workers and the women who make our bras. Read more about our sustainability here.
