Triumph bras: the comfort of a century-old corsetry brand
Soft-cup Triumph bras, wire-free, with moulded or lace cups: the models from a German company founded in 1886, which invented the moulded cup in 1967 and remains the most sought-after bra brand in the catalogue.
The bra Triumph comes from a lingerie company founded in 1886 in Heubach, Germany, by Johann Gottfried Spiesshofer and Michael Braun. This corsetry background explains the brand's focus: the construction of the cup and support take precedence over fashion trends, and the designs change little from season to season.
What Triumph has brought to the bra
Two innovations from the brand have become standard. In 1954, the stretch fibre strap replaced rigid straps and allowed for the adjustments we know today. In 1967, especially, the moulded cup: a thermoformed single-piece cup, seamless, designed to eliminate bulk. This technique made the bra Triumph invisible under thin clothing, and Triumph continues to focus on this aspect.
Which Triumph bra to choose
The range covers the three main uses. There are full-coverage and padded models for everyday wear that are comfortable all day long. The wireless bra Triumph, a segment the brand has repositioned itself in recent years. And lace models for dressed-up occasions, not to mention the minimiser bra Triumph, which slims the silhouette under a shirt. The consistency in sizing is a real practical advantage here: a size confirmed on one model generally translates across other lines of the brand.
Triumph bra and Sloggi panties, the same group
Triumph launched Sloggi in 1979, a brand that has since become a reference for cotton panties. Both belong to the same group, which explains the close size charts and makes it easy to mix and match between the two to create a set.
