Brand Heritage and Specialisation

A Legacy of Support for Ample Busts

Empreinte specialises in corsetry designed for women with ample busts. Founded in 1946 in Brest, France, by pharmacist Jean Le Her—who was often approached by women struggling with fuller figures—the brand was revitalised in 1998 when Philippe Berthaux took over, injecting new dynamism.

Empreinte champions women’s freedom to enjoy their bodies through corsetry that offers unique support and French elegance. Designed for those with an ample bust, it provides bigger cup sizing from 32C up to 46H, with a 30D option for D-cup wearers.

Comfort, Style, and Personalisation

Empreinte combines comfort and unparalleled support with the aesthetic appeal that is the hallmark of French design. Their personalisation and fitting service offers an innovative experience, allowing customers to customise their lingerie with initials, bows, tassels, or a short message on the low elastic at the back of the bra. The atelier for these services is located in the Empreinte store on South Molton Street.

Beyond Lingerie: Swimwear and Sportswear

Empreinte also offers a swimwear collection for C cups and upwards, as well as their first sportswear launch, the IN-PULSE range of sport chic lingerie, which combines simplicity with a modern graphic vibe. All cutting, quality control, and part of the sewing take place at the Empreinte factory in Brest, France. All materials and components are exclusively developed for Empreinte and sourced from Europe.
