The perfect gifts are always the ones you can’t put a price tag on – the home-cooked lasagna you brought over for dinner, the time you held down the fort so she could catch a nap, the surprise bag of coffee you brought over when she’d run out of it, the day you spent running all her errands, or that piece of well-timed advice that was just the right solution to her crisis.  But it still feels so good to choose the perfect gifts, wrap them beautifully, and present them to the amazing women who mean so much to us - especially when we get to pamper those who often forget to treat themselves.  To help make your shopping even...

When discussing what to name one of our most beloved Davy Piper products, our full-coverage wireless bra, it was kind of a no-brainer. We’d first heard about Nellie from a Kindred Bravely team member, who described this mother-of-eight as an unconditional lover of children. Having six kids biologically and gaining two through adoption, Nellie accepted her calling to motherhood by exemplifying what it means to love without limits. She adored each of her eight children with a fiercity only other mothers understand, and she did it outside the wires of blood. I guess you could say she was wireless in her love, completely and utterly devoted to the children placed in her care. It didn’t matter how they got there. ...

Meet Carol. She’s strong, independent, and wildly unapologetic. Yes, we’re talking about a bra, but also about a person.  The Davy Piper Carol Racerback Bra was appropriately named after a fierce and fearless lady who has personally inspired our team to live more boldly.  Despite living most of her life with debilitating arthritis, Carol was able to raise her children as a single mother in the 50s and 60s. By her family’s account, she did so with unearthly grace, love, and minimal complaining. She even felt called to stand up for women’s rights issues in the same era as Betty Friedan and Katherine G Johnson. Her life was filled with overcoming hardship, yet she still lived it on her terms —...

It’s a bra, it’s a tank...it’s Beverly!  OK, so maybe our superman reference comes off a little corny, but if you knew Beverly, you’d understand the relevance. To bring you up to speed, let me tell you a little bit about the woman behind The Beverly Tank with Built-In Bra. In real life, Beverly is super in all she does. Full of talent, fearlessness, and brimming with generosity, Beverly has gone through life leaving countless gifts in her wake. She was a teacher by trade, but also by passion. When her four kids reached school age, the fearless mother went back to school herself to become an educator. She had found her calling in the classroom, and continued teaching neighborhood...

By now you’re probably catching on that each of our Davy Piper products are named after inspiring women. And it’s always fun to introduce you to another one of our leading ladies. World, meet Charlie, the inspiration behind our cotton crossover bra. Charlie is described as a tough-as-nails warrior woman. What a powerful, and truthful, testimony of a woman whose strength seemed unearthly. Though her own childhood wasn’t easy, it motivated her to fight hard to make sure her children wouldn’t struggle the way she did growing up. She did it with success, providing a safe and secure upbringing for the ones she loved most. When she was later diagnosed with end-stage ovarian cancer, her fighting spirit stayed with her...

Granny panties. They have a bad rap as being outdated and unflattering. Still, their comfort level is unmatched by any other panty style. That’s exactly why Davy Piper felt the call to add flare to this high-waisted trend with The Patsy High-Waisted Panties, also known as the most comfortable and stylish underwear you’ll ever own! Made out of ultra-stretchy fabric, our Patsy Panties conform to your body without the rub, sag, or dig of other high-waisted underwear brands. What’s more, they also don’t sacrifice looks. The lacy, full-coverage panty is sophisticated and beautiful from every angle — a lot like another Patsy we know.  The Patsy High-Waisted Panties’ namesake is a woman whose story cuts you to the core, yet...

Leggings are awesome! Few women would dispute that. We also know, however, that all leggings are NOT created equal.  That’s why the Glenna High-Rise Legging is such an important product in our Davy Piper line. She’s the legging all other leggings strive to be with her ultra comfortable fit, fashionable look, and durable fabric that stretches wherever you need her to. Without trying too hard, she’s simply the best, most comfortable legging out there. In other words, the Glenna legging is as dependable as the woman she was named after. And here’s how:  Once upon a time there was a beautiful little girl who desperately longed for stability in her home life. She was 8 years old when her dad...
