Wrapped in Love has a simple but empowering message:
If you or someone you love has cancer, they shouldn’t have to compromise their style, comfort, or dignity.

Like many stories in our lives, the Wrapped in Love story started with an illness.  My mom had become very ill from cancer and pulmonary fibrosis.  It was Christmas eve and she told me she no longer wanted to receive visitors as she felt she  looked too bad in her state of illness. It broke my heart to see how she had lost her dignity.  I decided that I was going to make her feel special and pretty on Christmas day.  I made her a wrap that could go over her hospital gown and put a pretty flower pin on it (she loved flowers and gardening).  I put a little bit of lipstick on her and gave her some rosy cheeks, and I saw that old familiar smile come back.  That day inspired me for the rest of my life. I saw that helping someone feel and look special despite their illness could really make an impact on a patient’s outlook and dignity.  That day I was inspired to create Wrapped in Love, a clothing and accessory line for women with cancer and other illnesses, to provide them with comfort, style and dignity, despite illness.

Cancer is, unfortunately, a defining moment in many people’s lives, but that doesn’t mean that their illness defines who they are.  That’s why our clothing and accessories are designed to be purposeful, yet fashionable.

As part of creating clothes, headwear, and accessories that are comfortable and functional, I interact with patients, survivors and healthcare workers to create designs cancer patients are proud to wear, as well as products that are soft against the scalp and make it easy for healthcare professionals to administer treatment with dignity and sensitivity.

Over the past ten years, I’ve met hundreds of women and men — some of them are models on our website! — and been able to bring a little bit of joy, a little bit of sparkle, and a lot of love to them and their families.

At Wrapped in Love, every piece you see on our website is modeled by a real cancer patient or survivor. We pamper them for the entire day, doing their hair and make-up before bringing in a photographer for their photoshoot. We love treating them and making them feel special, giving them a special experience and memories they’ll be able to treasure. Here are some peeks from behind the scenes!!

One of My Favorites

The Kimono is one of my Wrapped in Love favorites. It’s stylish, lightweight and perfect for chemo. There are even hats that match. (Love that!)
