Anywhere you look on social media - right now - you’ll find ambassadors, brands and charities making noise about Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Spreading the word about how to check yourself regularly, and support with a diagnosis at any stage, both emotional and physical, as the statistic sits at 1 in 2 of us being impacted by cancer in our lifetime.
“So many women feel cancer is taking
away not only their physical health, but
their whole identity. I hope this sweat
makes them feel a little less cancer
patient and a bit more themselves.
”
Mary, Founder
We designed The Starlight Sweat to offer comfort, and practicality with treatment in mind, all without compromising on style and self-expression. When it comes to knowing how to dress when entering treatment, we hope to have solved this not-unimportant question.
We told Pink Ribbon Foundation all about our plans to launch, and they kindly featured The Starlight Sweat on their Helpful Resources Page. The vital work they do in raising funds, awareness, and offering support for people affected by breast cancer drew us straight to them. Not only do they offer helpful advice, resources and recommended products, they also support and send funds to smaller, wonderful charities that directly help the cancer community.
Beautiful in its own right, as well as useful for treatment, we sent one to a few ambassadors to see what they thought.
“In love with the beautiful Starlight Sweat, the coffee colour is perfect for autumn. The extra large foldable neck makes it perfect for the time of year (zip it up to the top for some extra warmth or fold it down to be a little more open.)
I love the addition of the zips as it would make access so easy if for example you needed to give blood/ have BP checked etc. Wonderful that accessibility is a pillar of this piece rather than an afterthought!” -
