Bold Beanies cancer headwear and all those at our little factory rebelfamily-production would like to wish you all Peaceful and Merry Holidays

A time to remember those who are no longer with us. A time to show love to those alone. A time to bask in the magic. A time to reflect and be grateful. A time to eat, share and drink and recharge for the forthcoming year and new challenges. 

As cancer doesn't stop for Christmas, we will still be shipping our chemo alopecia headwear, head wraps, headscarves, PICC covers and cancer gifts throughout the whole festive period, albeit at a slightly slower service than normal. For all those of you that are newly diagnosed or looking for cancer hats for loved ones, we understand and we care. 

Bold Beanies are designed with style, ease and comfort in mind, by me, Emilienne. I had chemotherapy for Breast Cancer 12 years ago over Christmas. One of my memories of that time is watching her very young children decorate the lower branches of their Christmas tree... and with no energy, thats how it stayed. I was very ill, but very grateful for every moment... and still am. I look forward to a big new family Christmas (and birthday!) with new traditions and lots of love.

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?
