Our Story

A lot has changed since we sold our first bra in 2005, but our passion and playfulness still remains at the heart of everything we do. Starting from humble beginnings in a small office above a shop in Macclesfield to selling a bra every 30 seconds, Pour Moi has expanded rapidly over the past 16 years and we have loved every step of the way! 

We believe that no one should have to overpay for good-fitting lingerie, no matter their size. It’s the Pour Moi way to ensure that our customers feel confident and sexy in their own skin. With an uplifting personality weaved into every garment, we’ll take care of the fashion, all that’s left to do is for you to feel fabulous! 

Now boasting over 100 truly amazing women and men, our range has grown along with us to include clothing, sportswear, nightwear and hosiery. We are so much more than just a lingerie shop. With exciting new developments planned we can’t wait to see what the future holds, and we want you to join us on this amazing ride!

We’re fanatical about fit

Just as fit is fundamental to a killer outfit, it’s the foundation Pour Moi is built on. From supportive, comfortable bras to clothes designed for curves, our team are literally obsessed with fit.

We’re your biggest cheerleaders

We may not take life too seriously, but we know we’re stronger together. Friends don’t let friends feel anything less than fabulous, so we’re building a community of like-minded women to pick each other up, dust each other off and cheer each other on.

The Story So Far, 2005:

Starting from humble beginnings, Pour Moi started in a tiny office above a shop in Macclesfield, packed with materials, cardboard boxes, two staff members and one belief - that people shouldn’t have to overpay for good-fitting lingerie, no matter what their size.
