Co-founders Jenna Kerner and Jane Fisher didn\u2019t have an answer. In fact, they ran into more questions: why is the bra industry so over-sexualized? Why is a product that is meant for women, typically marketed toward men? As they delved deeper into the world of intimates, they found injustices, absurdities, and some humor along the way that inspired them to create a company that women are proud to stand behind.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u00a0<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-4191 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.vionicshoes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/Screen-Shot-2018-02-28-at-4.16.39-PM.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1128\" height=\"742\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.vionicshoes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/Screen-Shot-2018-02-28-at-4.16.39-PM.png 1128w, https:\/\/blog.vionicshoes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/Screen-Shot-2018-02-28-at-4.16.39-PM-300x197.png 300w, https:\/\/blog.vionicshoes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/Screen-Shot-2018-02-28-at-4.16.39-PM-768x505.png 768w, https:\/\/blog.vionicshoes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/Screen-Shot-2018-02-28-at-4.16.39-PM-1024x674.png 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1128px) 100vw, 1128px\" \/><\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em>And so, <a href=\"https:\/\/harperwilde.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Harper Wilde<\/a> was born.\u00a0Jenna and Jane talked to hundreds of women to determine what features women want and need in a bra, and which ones they don\u2019t. They created everyday bras that match a woman\u2019s real needs &#8211; including the needs of her bank account. They built a shopping experience that removes the middlemen (because why are men running this industry anyway?). As a result, Harper Wilde provides quality products at fair prices.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>But Harper Wilde doesn\u2019t stop there.
