  • Designing bras is inherently complex due to the multitude of fabric elements and components involved, many of which depend on plastics and synthetic materials. The challenge of creating a supportive bra without these materials requires innovative solutions in terms of material choice, functionality, and sustainability. Farm To Hanger has risen to this challenge through an iterative process involving prototyping, material innovation, and consumer feedback. This approach has led to breakthroughs in compostability, material traceability, and the development of biodegradable components. The result is the Comfy Curves Cotton Bra, a product that exemplifies sustainable design without compromising on comfort or functionality.

  • Farm to Hanger initiated a multi-phase project aimed at developing a fully compostable bra, utilizing 100% Australian-grown, traceable cotton and biodegradable components. Stage One: Feasibility and Material Selection The initial phase focused on feasibility and material selection, creating preliminary patterns and choosing materials that met compostability criteria while ensuring functionality. Stage Two: Prototyping and Refinement The second phase involved refining prototypes to ensure both functionality and compostability, incorporating biodegradable elastics and cup materials. The design also prioritized inclusivity, resulting in a bra available in 49 different sizes. Farm to Hanger’s commitment highlights the potential for sustainable fashion solutions.

  • By surmounting significant challenges, Farm to Hanger has developed an innovative and sustainable garment that aligns with contemporary environmental priorities. This achievement underscores the company’s dedication to both quality and ecological stewardship. The resulting product, designed for environmentally conscious women, provides a healthier alternative to traditional bras while mitigating the environmental impact associated with synthetic textiles. Emphasizing circular design principles and integrating sustainable practices throughout its production, the Comfy Curves Cotton Bra aims to reduce landfill waste and support textile recycling initiatives.
