Covers that Care
Covers that Care is a scheme that aims to bring joy and hope to patients post ostomy surgery. A collaboration with Lucy Jane (@lucyjane.fashion on instagram) where funky stoma covers will be donated to hospitals around Greater Manchester along with an information booklet including top tips on life with a stoma. The booklet contains everything from Dating to Festival tips.
The scheme (through hospitals) will be donating the bags and booklets to patients having undergone ostomy surgery. Born from lived experience the intention is to bring a pocket of joy and hope to individuals recovery journeys.
10% of sales of the stoma covers collection go directly to fund covers that care. Alternatively you can “pay it forward” and buy a cover to go straight into the scheme.
Lucys vision
This project has been a dream to work on as it’s exactly what me lying in that hospital bed waiting for my stoma bag 7 years ago needed. A beacon of positivity in a time that feels really negative and reassurance to say having a stoma bag doesn’t mean your life’s over, it’s just a new beginning ✨
Ellie’s take
For me this project has been the perfect way to marry fashion accessories and an authentic give back scheme that will create real impact. Working with Lucy has been a real highlight within the businesses journey. It’s become a perfect collaboration that happened so naturally and really represents what Recondition and Lucy’s personal brand are about; dressing for yourself and using fashion as a tool for empowerment.
