scarfs and headgear for women having chemo

[amynnixmum]

I am trying to get some nice scarfs etc for my mum as she has now lost all her hair due to chemo.
On South Today about 4 months ago there was a local women who made really nice hats etc especially for women having chemo and I wondered if anyone remembered who she was.
Or does anyone know where i can get some nice scarfs. Have tried places like accessorize but they only do the long scarfs and she needs the square ones.
TIA

what sort of style of scarves does your mum like?

john lewis??

Nothing too old fashioned or fussy. The ethnic style patterns are nice. Basically she needs something soft so it doesn't irritate her scalp and soemthing square so she can tie it on her head easily.

have you tried the local markets/hippy stalls? they tend to do square bandana type scarves. check the seams on them tho as i have found some use rough stitching and are scratchy.

misdee- are you think......... Kastaways????

yup. might be a bit far for amynnixmum tho. do they have a website?

Good idea Misdee I'll try that.
Thanks

john lewis definitely has some square scarves, nice silk ones with no seams and nice patterns, not old fashioned.

can i recommend a poloponcho for outside cold wear, will try ot find a link, i got one for my MIL when she was having chemo and she said it was great, nice soft fleece. You can wear it in a multitude of styles too.

polo

Thanks katzguk.
Anyone else?
