About Bras N Things

Bras N Things is a lingerie and intimate apparel brand that Hanesbrands listed among its most widely recognised trademarks and sold in Australia alongside Bonds and Berlei. It came to Gildan with Hanesbrands on 1 December 2025, and Gildan classed the Australian business as discontinued from that day; in July 2026 it agreed to sell HanesBrands Australia to BBFIT Investments for an enterprise valuation of about A$700 million.
