The Bouduar brand was born out of adoration for women. The idea was born to meet customers' expectations of lingerie solutions. Inherent in this mission is the fact that it also has an entrepreneurial side. The team at Bouduar from its original premise, consistently creates a responsible brand. What exactly does this mean? Why do products “made in poland” are more expensive than those “made in China”? In today's article, we invite you to our metaphorical manufacturing background. We want price transparency - made-to-measure bra price was the standard. We invite you to read the article!
The bespoke bra - it starts with mindfulness
Awareness of the world around us is increasing. We hear about climate warming at every turn. Educational initiatives are springing up, suggesting how to be socially responsible when it comes to our environment. There are many aspects to conscious living. We have to make choices in every area of our daily lives.
What does fashion have to do with climate and caring for the planet?
These matters have a very strong connection with the fashion industry. There have been many scandals around the globe highlighting the background and conditions under which clothing products that people love to buy are made. Fortunately, after years of being enamoured of chain stores, local manufactures have started to return to favour. Things are done decently, and designers in Poland are characterised by their creativity and create truly beautiful clothes. Customers increasingly appreciate this and do not want to shop in chain shops, complaining about the quality and having moral issues - exploitation of human capital, terrible conditions for workers, environmental pollution.
The other side of the coin
There are also those who complain about the prices of products from small local companies.
Often on forums, ladies write that they can have the same item, or serving the same purpose, from a chain shop at a much lower price. Unfortunately, this saving is in most cases apparent. If only even considering the quality of the product in question. Besides, the low price is most often related to the fact that the people employed to sew the products in question are paid an inhumanly low wage.
Price transparency as key to opening up production facilities of local companies
Given that the market for manufactures and the costs that govern it can be confusing for customers, we have decided to include information on our website, next to each product, concerning price transparency - made-to-measure bra price.
For example: Body price “Sexy At All”, is £499. What is it based on? We would like to answer each of these types of questions clearly and in detail.
- In this case material costs, wages for dressmakers and logisticsof the entire process involved in the creation of that product, represents ⅓ of the total price, i.e. exactly PLN 175.
- The company pays taxes in Poland, and these account for approximately ⅙ of the price, or exactly 90 zł.
- Then 229 zł of the £499 price we will pay for the body “Sexy At All”, is the amount that will be allocated to the very broadly defined running costsThe costs include: margins, marketing, photo shoots so that we can present our products in an appropriate manner. On top of this, there are the costs associated with operating and maintaining the online shop and many other incidental costs.
Finally, there is the question of our CSR, or corporate social responsibility, activities, which we carry out. From each sale, we donate at least 1% for charity. We support foundations that work hard to help women - whether in terms of health or professional activation.
Of course, the business we run is a micro-business. However, this does not mean that morality, ethics, respect for our employees and taking care of the planet are not our core mission. We take immense pride when you choose our products, and we make every effort to ensure that everyone in the path of this transaction is a “winner”.

- What underwear should you choose for summer?
- The best underwear for an evening gown depends entirely on the style of the dress. For a smooth, seamless look, consider seamless thongs or briefs. If the dress has a low back or a plunging neckline, you might need to opt for special bras like a backless or adhesive bra. For structured dresses with shaping qualities, you may not need any special underwear, or perhaps a shaping slip. Always try on your underwear with the dress to ensure it's invisible and comfortable.
