Anita bras: the brand for deep cups and sport
Bras designed for support, Active sports bras, Maternity nursing models, or post-operative Care versions: a German brand that offers sizes from cup AA to cup K.
The bra Anita comes from a German company based in Brannenburg, Upper Bavaria, which has been active since 1886. Its uniqueness lies in the wide range of cup sizes, from AA to K, making it one of the few brands that caters to both petite frames and very deep cups using the same patterns.
The four Anita bra lines
The company separates its ranges by use rather than style. Anita, the historical line, covers everyday wear with structured full-coverage styles. Anita Active deals with sports, featuring bras with separate cups that encapsulate rather than compress: a sports bra Anita remains the only viable option beyond a C cup. Anita Maternity covers pregnancy and breastfeeding, with cups that open and no underwire. Finally, Anita Care is dedicated to post-operative wear and breast prostheses.
Why Anita is a reference for larger cups
The craftsmanship is evident in three construction points. The cups are assembled from three or four pieces, with seams that direct support upwards rather than simply containing. The straps are wide and anchored towards the centre of the back. And the back band is high, with three rows of hooks. These choices explain why a bra Anita stays in place where a model simply sized up would gape or compress.
Rosa Faia, Anita's second bra brand
The company also produces Rosa Faia, a second brand using the same patterns but with more elaborate designs, often featuring lace. The sizes correspond between the two, allowing for a switch between them without needing to try them on again.
