THE BRAND

Handful

The Portland sports-bra brand built on one idea: women deserve better — and the pads that make one bra fit many bodies.

2006 · PORTLAND, OREGON

"She's a handful"

Necessity is the mother of invention, but it was Jennifer Ferguson — a busy mom and fitness instructor from Montana — who turned it into the Original Handful bra. She couldn't find a bra that kept up with her, so she made one.

Handful became her third "child," named after her father's nickname for her.

The four founders of Handful

FOUR WOMEN

She didn't go it alone

Jennifer teamed up with three women who shared her drive — Tina Thede, Jody Filkins and Cary Kim. Together they built Handful into a woman-owned brand sold in boutiques nationwide.

The guiding star is the "Handful High Five": Fashion, Function, Feel, Fun and FIGHT.

PADS ARE THE SUPERPOWER

One bra, the shape you want

Every Handful bra has a hidden pocket that takes the brand's removable Lights-Out pads — washable, non-silicone, stackable. Use them to build, shape, balance or replace volume lost to surgery.

Each bra comes with a set; more can be added. It's why the same bra fits so many different bodies.
