I dress for chemo, like it's a special day out" - Lisa Fry has incurable breast cancer and she uses her love of fashion to make every day extraordinary. Extremely proud to call Lisa a friend. In fact 'The Lisa' Bold Beanie was initially made for and is named after Lisa and her love of animal prints. We could definitely learn some things about life from this remarkable woman. Watch her little video about her strategy to cope with secondary Breast Cancer and still feel like herself on BBC Gloucestershire here:   https://www.facebook.com/bbcgloucestershire/videos/2481325778855307/ You can also follow Lisa on Instagram at...

"Hi, Your company was recommended to me I wear a Libre Sensor on my arm to test my blood sugars. It's about the size of a 2 pound coin I seem to catch it when at work and worried I will pull out I wondered if you do some form of arm band please Look forward to hearing from you, Judith"

Judith contacted us a few weeks ago with a problem with a Libre sensor for her diabetes. We were able to find a PICC line for her and she has since had a few more :) Judith no longer worries about her sensor being pulled out of her arm, which has actually happened and was very painful. 

PICC line covers are great for protecting PICC Lines and other ports for lots of devices... giving you extra security and peace of mind from snagging. 

If you require one for a different part of the arm, please contact Emilienne directly and we will do our upmost to make sure you have a cover sleeve that fits correctly. They are not medical dressings, but they are  thin soft stretchy breathable cotton sleeves. 

One of my favourite stores is doing something rather interesting its really resonated with me, so I've decided to follow suit in an attempt to help us all slow down

A 10% discount ' SLOWDOWN ' will be available across every headwear product* including my book HOPE, chemo gifts and cancer accessories. The saving will be available for the next fortnight (18th - 30th November 2019), so there really is no need to hurry. It may not appear to be very much, but for a small business every penny is vital and its a very real way of showing my appreciation to my customers. 

So, on Friday November 29th, infamously known as 'Black Friday' I will be taking the day off for a moment of nothingness... giving myself a much needed slow day.

In previous years, Black Friday is the opportunity for customers to secure savings across a few products from limited lines. Last year, even as a small business I felt pressured to offer a discount and everything sold out too quickly, meaning many of you missed out (still sorry!). I believe that chemotherapy or Alopecia hair loss headwear choices should be based on the individual rather than impulse, and hope that a two-week long promotion will provide the time for consideration. Will I need a soft thin breathable cotton hat to keep my head at an even temperature in bed so I can sleep without extra heating the room? What colours will suit me... what clothes would I like to co-ordinate with... Would I like matching hats for the whole family?

Advice is always available either via our online chat service or via email. Phone calls and private consultations can also be organised, so please do contact us if you have questions.

It was such pleasure to make a special matching animal print Bold Beanie cancer hair loss hat for Melissa's new 'Chemo Duck' Daisy

"So we got home from her admission for chemo and the teddy hat was there! Thank you so so much. She loves it and was thrilled with the card too. Here she is with daisy her chemo duck (all the kids get one of these ducks which comes with its own central line!)"... sent from Melissa's mum.

I think its great that the kids get a teddy with a central line (to deliver chemotherapy) and its the reason I started making the matching Teddy/Dolly Bold Beanies, as being able to role-play can greatly help a child reduce anxiety and fear for whatever it is they are facing... in this case chemo infusions and hair loss.

Melissa has the matching headwear and requested the teddy Bold Beanie to match. Please do always ask if there is something you can't see on the website... especially if it could make a child smile.

Keep smiling beautiful Melissa, you have a magical sunshine smile and you are totally amazing! Thank you for allowing me to share your photo & smile with other kids.
