The stories behind our briefs
We wanted to infuse our undergarments with meaning and purpose. Here are the stories behind the names of each of our briefs.
Quinn
The name Quinn was chosen by Sylvia English in honour of her dearest canine companion.
Quinn had a pretty rough life - she belonged to a family that abandoned her because she was deaf and blind in one eye. She was rescued by animal welfare from a hoarder who chained her up and didn’t feed her properly. Sylvia took Quinn home from an animal shelter and tried to give her the best life possible to make up for the horrible start she’d had.
Sylvia describes Quinn as an infinite bundle of love with an unshakable resilience at her core. “Coming home to Quinn was so wonderful–it was like you'd be gone for years. If I had a bad day, Quinn knew, and showed it just by being with me.” Quinn got Sylvia through multiple jobs and mental health issues through the strength of her unconditional love 💞
Sadly, after only a few years together, Quinn got very sick and Sylvia had to say goodbye to her best friend. Quinn is much missed and always treasured.
We are honoured to name our hipster full brief after you Quinn ❤️
Ada
Ada is our cheeky hipster brief. The name Ada was chosen by Tamara Buckland in honour of Ada Lovelace, an English mathematician and writer from the early nineteenth century. She introduced many new computer concepts and because of this, is considered the first computer programmer's. She was a trail blazer and remains a feminist icon 💻
Tamara chose this name because Ada is an important part of tech and women's history. “I work in tech myself and I'm passionate about women in tech and their stories.”

Katherine
Katherine is our high-waisted cheeky brief. Katherine is named after Kate Montgomery, who can only wear high-waisted styles following several bowel surgeries and an ileostomy. We believe our briefs should celebrate every woman's body and the different stories they have to tell.

Sabina
The name Sabina was chosen by Kirsten Hagan in honour of her beautiful grandma who she never got to meet. “I do not have children (and won't be) but if I had, I would have named my daughter Sabina. It's a very very old name and I think it is very beautiful.”
