I'm so proud to offer my Bold Beanies headwear in such beautiful quality Liberty prints. Simple, easy to wear and immaculately constructed cancer beanies, headscarves, head wraps and PICC covers made using these wonderful and uplifting prints from Liberty of London so quintessential British & with quintessential quirkiness.

As one of the best-known department stores in the UK, Liberty London offers a diverse range of products, but one of their staple products & absolute best sellers are their fabrics – specifically their cotton prints. Not surprising, then, is that the founder of Liberty London has his roots in fabric and Liberty has a great tradition and history spanning a period of over 80 years.

In the 1920s, Liberty began to produce miniature floral, paisley & abstract prints that became known as ‘Liberty Prints’ and the rest, as far as I am concerned, is history.

Englishman Arthur Lasenby Liberty began his career as an apprentice for a draper. He then took on a job at Farmer & Roger’s Great Shawl and Cloak Emporium – a position that set him on course of his life’s work. After ten years of work there, learning about textiles & other arts, he decided to branch out and open his own business in 1875, named ‘East India House’ where he solely sold Oriental imports – namely rugs, decorative objects and…fabrics!

In 1875 a small shop opened in Regent Street London called Liberty & Co. This was the dream of an Englishman Arthur Liberty, a man of great vision and artistic skills who until his death in 1917 played a leading part in the growth and achievements of a wonderful department store.

Arthur Liberty spent many years travelling to Eastern parts of the world gaining inspiration for the development of his store and he would bring home beautiful rugs and fabrics from these countries. He involved William Morris and other famous artists of the 19th century in the designing of rugs and materials. Some of these early designs are still used today.

MEET JANE! New to the Bold Beanies Hats collect we have a new product and print, the Jane Double-Sided Head Wrap. 

You can layer the Jane hair wrap over any Bold Beanie cancer cap but we have to say, it looks especially good wrapped around the Jane Bold Beanie. This striking and fashionable small floral and leaf print is a mix of red, petrol blue, blue, taupe, coral and blush on a soft warm black background.

We love this print so much we've decided to offer the reversible side in two colours to compliment the print. Both colours show a little when tied print side up, so you can choose bright red for a pop of colour or a more subtle taupe. As a reversible product you can wear this head wrap in any direction (plain colour at the top!) which gives you lots more wrapping style options, but also very cost effective, affordable hair loss solution. Especially when budget is tight or as a space saver when travelling for example. Many different looks, with just one headwear product!

Made using the very best quality fabric to the highest standards, this Jane reversible head wrap will be the perfect addition to any woman's chemotherapy or alopecia hair loss collection. The stretchy fabric allows you to tie to the side, back or top leaving little or long lengths hanging down depending on how you tie it and your mood... mix it up every day!
