Millie Bright shows support with Maaree deal
Chelsea and England defender Millie Bright has launched a limited-edition sports bra and collection in partnership with sportswear company Maaree.
The Millie Bright x MAAREE Empower Sports Bra features artwork inspired by Bright’s tattoos. The cobalt blue bra has the phrase ‘Dream Big’, a personal motto of the Chelsea captain, inscribed on its racerback and features gold logos.
Bright joined MAAREE as an investor and ambassador at the start of 2024, having previously struggled with discomfort from ill-fitting sports bras. MAAREE was founded in 2018 by sports bra engineer Mari Thomas-Welland and features its Overband Technology, which is designed to reduce upward motion.
Along with the bra, the collection also includes a t-shirt and a cap.
Millie Bright said, “Dream Big is an important motto for me. To dream it, you have to see it and visibility in women’s sport is improving so much which is having a big impact. It shows women that things are possible, you can create or wear something that makes you feel powerful, brave and determined. This collection is really personal to me. It reflects what is important to me and has allowed me to achieve what I have so far in my career. I’m really proud of it and I can’t wait to showcase it.”
Mari Thomas-Welland, Founder, MAAREE, said, “We’re really pleased to bring this collection out with Millie. She is the perfect ambassador for us and represents just what our brand is about, which is supporting and empowering women. This has been an enjoyable, creative process and we wanted Millie to have a lot of input. This collection is for all women, we wanted to build the message around that and it has evolved in an authentic way. It’s been a really exciting year for us so far as a business, just as women’s sport is going from strength to strength. Launching a range in a really unique, women-focused venue such as SOOO is a special moment for us.”
