Raising questions about the causes of modern day Cancer... Environmental? Diet? Stress? Will this give us clues?

A Spanish university team in Cairo has discovered what Egyptian authorities are calling the world's oldest evidence of breast cancer in the 4,200-year-old skeleton of an adult woman. Antiquities Minister Mamdouh el-Damaty said the bones of the woman, who lived at the end of the 6th Pharaonic Dynasty, showed "an extraordinary deterioration."

"The study of her remains shows the typical destructive damage provoked by the extension of a breast cancer as a metastasis," he said in a statement released on Tuesday.

See our new range of Liberty Head Scarves online now. Which Iconic Liberty print double-sided headscarf (with a reversible plain cotton co-ordinating side) will be your favourite?

Are you having difficulty tying a head scarf? Don't have anyone to help you tie one and need to tie your headwear on your own? Have had breast or lymph node surgery or radiotherapy and can't hold your arms up above your head for very long?  Well, we've taken the difficulty out of it!

I really struggled to tie head scarves when I lost my hair during treatment for stage 3 advanced Breast Cancer and had had lots of different surgeries. I've designed these new headscarves to be super easy to tie. Made using the highest quality softest, stretchiest cotton jersey material, they are already cut to a triangle shape and so just need to be tied once either at the back of the neck or the side, whichever you prefer. 

Not just for cancer or alopecia hair loss, our range of Liberty Head Scarves can be worn by any woman with or without hair! They are super soft and comfy and fit snuggly on the head and don't slip around like other scarves, due to the nature of the fabric.

I had a really lovely online enquiry from a customer earlier asking about shipping our bold Beanies cancer hats to the USA. 

She was looking for stylish women’s headwear which was also comfortable as she’s having chemotherapy treatment for breast cancer. I explained about our snug, coton beanie cancer hats and beautiful quality Liberty printed double sided head scarf made for comfort and ease after surgery. 

Having chemo, she’d lost her hair quickly and felt cold at night, like I did. Her bald scalp was extra sensitive, so she wanted cotton headwear as they are hypoallergenic and breathable. The skull caps for ladies are suitable for daywear and as a temperature controlling cancer sleep hat.

She ordered some soft cancer Beanies (plain colours and Liberty prints) and head scarves to be shipped to America and had a headwear bouquet sent to a friend as a thoughtful cancer gift also having chemotherapy in Ireland. She also ordered a graffiti greetings skull cap to be sent to America for her and her children to write on for her oncologist as he is a runner as thin breathable sweat wicking exercise beanie.

I really love hearing from my customers and good feedback about our pretty cancer headwear. 

Fast international shipping to USA, Canada, Australia and Ireland. FREE SHIPPING on all orders over £65.

I'm so proud to offer my Bold Beanies headwear in such beautiful quality Liberty prints. Simple, easy to wear and immaculately constructed cancer beanies, headscarves, head wraps and PICC covers made using these wonderful and uplifting prints from Liberty of London so quintessential British & with quintessential quirkiness.

As one of the best-known department stores in the UK, Liberty London offers a diverse range of products, but one of their staple products & absolute best sellers are their fabrics – specifically their cotton prints. Not surprising, then, is that the founder of Liberty London has his roots in fabric and Liberty has a great tradition and history spanning a period of over 80 years.

In the 1920s, Liberty began to produce miniature floral, paisley & abstract prints that became known as ‘Liberty Prints’ and the rest, as far as I am concerned, is history.

Englishman Arthur Lasenby Liberty began his career as an apprentice for a draper. He then took on a job at Farmer & Roger’s Great Shawl and Cloak Emporium – a position that set him on course of his life’s work. After ten years of work there, learning about textiles & other arts, he decided to branch out and open his own business in 1875, named ‘East India House’ where he solely sold Oriental imports – namely rugs, decorative objects and…fabrics!

In 1875 a small shop opened in Regent Street London called Liberty & Co. This was the dream of an Englishman Arthur Liberty, a man of great vision and artistic skills who until his death in 1917 played a leading part in the growth and achievements of a wonderful department store.

Arthur Liberty spent many years travelling to Eastern parts of the world gaining inspiration for the development of his store and he would bring home beautiful rugs and fabrics from these countries. He involved William Morris and other famous artists of the 19th century in the designing of rugs and materials. Some of these early designs are still used today.

MEET JANE! New to the Bold Beanies Hats collect we have a new product and print, the Jane Double-Sided Head Wrap. 

You can layer the Jane hair wrap over any Bold Beanie cancer cap but we have to say, it looks especially good wrapped around the Jane Bold Beanie. This striking and fashionable small floral and leaf print is a mix of red, petrol blue, blue, taupe, coral and blush on a soft warm black background.

We love this print so much we've decided to offer the reversible side in two colours to compliment the print. Both colours show a little when tied print side up, so you can choose bright red for a pop of colour or a more subtle taupe. As a reversible product you can wear this head wrap in any direction (plain colour at the top!) which gives you lots more wrapping style options, but also very cost effective, affordable hair loss solution. Especially when budget is tight or as a space saver when travelling for example. Many different looks, with just one headwear product!

Made using the very best quality fabric to the highest standards, this Jane reversible head wrap will be the perfect addition to any woman's chemotherapy or alopecia hair loss collection. The stretchy fabric allows you to tie to the side, back or top leaving little or long lengths hanging down depending on how you tie it and your mood... mix it up every day!
