What happened to Lin and Barrett Lingerie Bowral?
Where is Lin & Barrett Bowral?
Introducing The Foundation Lingerie Bowral
We’re still right here in the heart of town at 335 Bong Bong Street, Bowral—just with a fresh new look and name. Our much-loved Lin & Barrett Bowral store is now officially The Foundation Lingerie Bowral, marking the final step in our rebrand journey.
Is Lin & Barrett under new management?
Not exactly! In early 2022, the Lin & Barrett business was purchased by sisters Amanda and Michaela, who are passionate about carrying forward more than 30 years of trusted bra fitting service. The transition has brought new energy and a modern take on what has always been a very personal and expert experience.
Why change the name?
We asked ourselves that too—but even with such a wonderful reputation, we felt Lin & Barrett deserved a refresh. The new name, The Foundation, better reflects what we do every day: helping women feel supported, confident, and beautiful from the base layer up.
Why “The Foundation”?
It’s a tribute to our beloved grandmother, Peggie, who always referred to her lingerie as her “foundation garments.” She was a woman of style and strength who believed in presenting her best self—starting from underneath. “The Foundation” honors that philosophy and the generations of women we support every day.
Is the same team still in Bowral?
Absolutely. Our expert fitters you know and love are still here, delivering the same personalised service Bowral has trusted for years. As always, we’re here to give you all the support you need.
Is this the end of Lin & Barrett?
Not at all—it’s a new beginning. Bowral is the final chapter in the transformation, following Rozelle and our new concept store in Neutral Bay. We’re proud to continue the Lin & Barrett legacy, now under a name that reflects our mission and passion even more clearly.
