Strap elastic does all the heavy lifting in a bra, and as such, in both our bras as well as conventional bras, they are the first to go. Often the bra itself has a few more years left in it after the straps have given up the ghost, and so for those who'd like to repair, we have dyed up some extra strapping to allow you to do that.
We will send you 1m of 13mm (or new 20mm black) strap elastic in your chosen colour, plenty for 2 straps. We are currently out of stock Peach still, but we now have Ecru available which will work with this colour.
You just need to either hand or machine sew around the rings already on the bra, and put the sliders back on. There is a cost to this - the elastic is very expensive to start with, we have to fly it from Germany to our Sri Lanka factory for dying, then we have to fly it to Sydney and then send it to you. We've tried to keep it minimal, we'd love to extend the life of your bras. Elastic will come with a flat postage rate of $5 domestically and $10 internationally, but there will be no cost if you meet our free post thresholds for either when adding to a larger order. Please let us know your feedback when you've repaired!
The replacement straps are a superior elastic which doesn't slip. They are easy to replace and will give my bras a much longer life. It's wonderful that these are available.
The bra strap was the only thing giving out on my 'Very Good Bra' and so I was vey happy to see that replacement straps were available - showing true commitment to slow fashion. It was easy to replace the bra strap - giving my bra a new lease on life. Inspired by my 1950's mending I then treated myself to the Vintage Peach 'Very Good Bra'.
I love that this is an option. I've now replaced the straps on three of my Very Good Bras. It wasn't as hard as I thought it might be, although it was a bit fiddly, and I can't imagine how you'd do it if you didn't own a sewing machine. In future, I will always buy replacement straps when I buy a bra so that I can be sure to have the right colour when the time comes. Thank you for giving us the possibility of repairs. It's a brilliant idea and has extended the life of each of my bras by at least a year.
Thanks Val, so glad you love this option! Bras of all kinds out-live their straps so it's great to see them living on :-)
