Cancer Chic: Spread the Word with Unique Designs from Chemo Couture
When I first read the name of the new online clothing boutique Chemo Couture, I was pretty sure that it was not something that I was going to want to tell people about. I pictured it being just a few scarves and hats. But I stand corrected.
Chemo Couture is an amazing new collection of unique designs for cancer survivors, fighters, and caregivers. Their are fashionable scarves and hats, but there is so much more too. There are dozens of clever tee shirts that are inspirational or witty such as: cancer survivor logo based on the TV show’s, an uphill moving train puffing “I know I can,” ribbons stitched and bedazzled on, a skunk declaring that “cancer stinks,” and plenty of jokes about being bald or boobless. The store also carries bags and totes, blankets, jewelry, books, organic creams, seatbelt covers, coolers, medical scrubs,l and much more for adults and kids alike. Plus, 5 percent of the sales are donated to a variety of cancer-specific charities.
The founders, Jane Bebita and Julie Uhrig, agree that “no matter how one handles the treatments - whether by becoming the warrior that refuses to let cancer slow him down or be retreating to a quiet place where she can focus on wellness and family - everyone needs a little pampering and lots of support.”
The Chemo Couture duo was inspired to start the company by friends and family who had battled various forms of the disease. The models for Chemo Couture’s goods are all in different stages of cancer recovery, and their picture is accompanied by their story.
