Lululemon Flow Y Bra Nulu (likely Java or Roasted Brown colorway)
Lululemon Athletica · Clothing & Accessories > Activewear > Sports Bras
Era / Decade
Early 2020s. The 'Java' brown colorway was a viral, high-demand release in 2022-2023.
Material
Nulu fabric (81% Nylon, 19% Lycra elastane). Known for 'buttery soft' feel and four-way stretch with low friction.
Condition
Good to Very Good. The fabric appears matte with no immediate pilling visible in the center, though there is a slight deformation in the cup shape suggesting it has been washed and worn. No visible snags.
Demand Level
Strong. Lululemon neutral/brown tones (Java, Roasted Brown, Espresso) are consistently popular on secondary markets.
Resale Value
Estimated Resale Value
$18.00 (Low) - $28.00 (Mid) - $35.00 (High if NWOT/Excellent)
Estimated Retail Value
$48.00 - $52.00 USD
Comparable Sales
Recent sold listings on Poshmark for 'Flow Y Bra Java' range from $22 to $32 depending on whether they include the original cups and how faded the logo is.
Description
Authentic Lululemon Flow Y Bra in a rich chocolate brown (Java). Designed for low-impact activities like yoga or pilates. Features a Y-back racerback design with thin, adjustable straps for maximum range of motion. Minimalist front with gentle gathering at the center gore. Lightweight, breathable, and sweat-wicking Nulu fabric.
Key Features
High-demand 'Earth Tone' colorway; Nulu fabric (same as Align leggings); Minimalist aesthetic; Highly recognizable Lululemon logo (likely on the back center, not visible in photo).
Authenticity Indicators
Check for the 'size dot' located inside the pocket for the removable cups. A genuine size dot will have a sequence of letters/numbers around the edge that acts as a style code (e.g., W1DDRS). Confidence: Medium-High based on construction and fabric sheen.
Flaws to Note
Possible slight pilling on the under-arm area (common with Nulu); potentially missing the removable foam cup inserts; possible fading of the sizing 'rip tag' or inner size dot.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Poshmark, Mercari, or Depop. These platforms have a dedicated Lululemon buyer base and higher price realization for activewear than eBay/FB Marketplace.
Selling Tips
Photograph the back logo clearly. Locate the size dot and include a macro photo of it to prove authenticity. Use keywords: 'Nulu', 'Align', 'Java Brown', 'Yoga', 'Minimalist'. Mention if cups are included.
