THE INSPIRATION BEHIND OUR BRAND
Bonney was my brothers wife, but to me she was so much more. She was my incredibly tenacious and funny friend. She took herself from nothing and climbed to the top of the UK music industry - head hunted by companies like apple music and Spotify.. She was destined for greatness, but her career was cut short when she was diagnosed with cancer, passing away 8 short months later, at the age of 39. The same age her own mother died from cancer too.
Bonney left behind her darling 2 year old son Jack. During her final weeks, I promised her I would take care of him if ever my brother couldn’t… but my prospects at that time were uncertain.
Then a miracle happened. I was set to return to Dubai, but at the last moment, decided to stay on in the UK for a few more weeks. I took charge of organising the contents of a spare room - items that had accumulated during the chaotic and painful 8 months of Bonney’s illness; and it was here, under a mountain of stuff that I stumbled across an old bra tucked away in the pocket of a bag. I felt compelled to try it on - it was amazing! It didn’t feel like I was wearing a bra at all. I trawled the internet in the weeks following, trying to find another one, but the labels had worn and it was impossible to trace. Then, I had an epiphany - what if I was to have a bra like this manufactured? This could be my way of keeping my promise to Bonney. What if we could take it even further and extend our reach to helping children with cancer, struggling families, stray cats - all causes that were close to Bonney's heart. Fast forward a year, and Miss Bonney was born. With a vision to always use our platform for the greater good, we hope this will become part of Bonney's legacy.
