What is Brax known for?

Brax is a German clothing brand founded in 1888, best known for making women's trousers that fit exceptionally well. The brand has been Germany's number one women's trouser brand for decades, and its reputation is built almost entirely on fit — precise cuts, quality fabrics, and a rigorous approach to construction that results in trousers that feel as good as they look. Beyond trousers, Brax has expanded into a full women's wardrobe including jeans, knitwear, shirts, jackets and coats, all carrying the same standards of quality and craftsmanship.

Where is Brax clothing made?

Brax is designed and developed at the brand's headquarters in Herford, Germany, where the design team and quality control processes remain to this day. Manufacturing takes place in carefully selected factories in Eastern Europe, with all products passing through Brax's quality assurance process before reaching retailers. The brand is a member of the Fair Wear Foundation, reflecting its commitment to fair working conditions throughout its supply chain.

Is Brax clothing sustainable?

Yes — Brax's Blue Planet initiative focuses on reducing the environmental impact of its collections through the use of more sustainable materials, responsible production methods, and a commitment to resource efficiency. The brand is also a member of the Fair Wear Foundation, working to improve standards in the factories it partners with. If sustainability is important to you, look for the Blue Planet label within the Brax range.

Brax Women's Clothing & Trousers

There are brands you try once and brands you come back to season after season. For many of our customers, Brax is firmly the latter.

Founded in 1888 by a master tailor in Berlin, Brax has spent well over a century perfecting the art of the well-fitting trouser — and it shows. The brand is Germany's number one women's trouser brand, not through clever marketing, but because the fit is genuinely different. Precise where it needs to be, comfortable where it counts, and cut to work for real bodies rather than mannequins.

What started as a trouser brand has evolved into something far more versatile. The Brax we stock at Shirley Allum spans jeans, tailored trousers, knitwear, shirts and jackets — a wardrobe you can build around, season after season, with the confidence that every piece will hold its shape and its quality long after the trend has moved on.

Smart. Stylish. Built to last.
