Bravery Co. was born to a girl called Emily. A dreamer and a traveller, a collector and a designer, she spent her days as an Art Director in a bubble of colour and happiness.

Then she got sick. Real sick. She got cancer.

Not once, not twice but three times.

And do you know what, she beat it.

Not once, not twice but three times.

Inspired by her own experience of chemo, cancer, naps, and turbans, she’s on a mission to create some cool cancer headwear in the hope to give bravery to others going through something she knows only too well.

Sweet Cheeks Merino was started in New Zealand, in 2007, by two very clever mums. 

They knew they needed a fabric that was not only warm but hypoallergenic and soft against sensitive skin. Merino wool was the obvious choice due to being exceptionally warm for it’s weight, yet breathable and soft on delicate skin. It’s hypoallergenic properties ensure it is safe for babies and kids with sensitive skin, eczema or allergies. And in some cases, it has even been shown to reduce allergies

There was nothing on the market that ticked all these boxes. So they decided to create their own.

What started as a few pieces to meet their kids needs, quickly turned into items that were requested by their wider friends and family. From that, Sweet Cheeks Merino was born. They created a line of beautiful merino wool products that have stood the test of time and have been loved by families for well over a decade.

Today, Sweet Cheeks is owned by a small family unit who are spread across Australia and Auckland, New Zealand.
