Stephanie Devine’s mission to create the world’s first plastic-free, compostable bra was almost foiled by the Hong Kong protests, COVID-19, and unsupportive lenders, but today The Very Good Bra is thriving thanks to PayPal Working Capital.
Sales are up 50% from last year and every 10,000 bras sold saves 1,000kgs (2205lbs) of plastic from landfill, and 9kgs (20lbs) of microplastics from our oceans through laundering.
“Without PayPal working Capital I don’t know how I could have made it through that pinch, and the business may have collapsed despite the growing demand and positive social and environmental impact,” Stephanie said.
“It's so important that small businesses trying to change things at the grassroots level have options like PayPal Working Capital.”
