Today we woke up and found we were looking back at ourselves on the front page, and page 3, of the Croydon Advertiser! We are ecstatic that people are finally getting to see what we have been so busy working on and also giggling at the amount of laughs we are getting for the page 3 thing!

Brave Ladies is so close to our hearts that, for others to see what we have created, and give such great feedback about it, is tremendous. Both Teresa and I have been smiling all-day and wanted to share our feel good vibe with everyone.

Of course, breast cancer is far from positive. This often-devastating disease was estimated to have affected 1.68 million women in 2012. It is the most common cancer in the UK with a risk of 1 in 8 women being diagnosed during their lifetime. These statistics* are scary and so very real, as are the women recovering from surgeries to be rid of this disease.

We want to help women feel better with our swimwear. The fit, the colour and, most importantly, the adaptability of the design are so important to us at Brave Ladies. It took us a long time to achieve what we were after but we think that our designs will inspire many women. Our journey has been inspired by the stories of many women. We hope you will join us in celebrating this by treating yourselves to something fabulous from the Brave Ladies range.

Have a great day!

Aoife and Teresa at Brave Ladies
