Our Story

At our core, we are a community-driven apparel brand, founded by myself, Tom, and my partner Bethan.

In 2022, I was diagnosed with Hodgkin Lymphoma—a journey that was physically, mentally, and emotionally challenging.

After beating the disease twice, we felt a deep calling to give back, not just to those fighting cancer, but also to their families and loved ones.

Our turning point came during a recovery trip to Thailand, where we received a call from a friend undergoing harsh cancer treatment with little mental or emotional support. This experience strengthened our belief that people need more than just medical care- they need community, hope, and love.

The idea for our brand came from my own experience during treatment. As I lost my hair, I wore hats every day- it's the one thing that gave me comfort and confidence throughout that difficult time.

What started as just hats eventually grew into a full clothing brand, so people could have more choice and feel connected to a community that understands.

Our brand is not just about clothing; it's about bringing people together. Each sale helps support Lymphoma Action, a charity dedicated to helping those affected by cancer. Together, we are stronger than cancer. Let's unite, uplift, and make a difference.
