Bringing together inspiring stories to empower women, boost confidence and improve wellbeing. Skarlette creates a community to support women through the recovery and healing of breast cancer.
Skarlette was founded by friends Heather & Kate. Heather a nurse and two-time breast cancer survivor, Kate a retired pilot and passionate seamstress, noticed a lack of flat chested lingerie. Through their supportive friendship and determination, they created a unique bra that empowers flat-chested women and cancer survivors across the world.
When we ask our customers what we can do to do better, the response is mostly "Make bigger sizes". Of course we have wanted to offer a comprehensive range of sizes from the beginning, but that means having plenty of money to achieve that. What we love at Skarlette is this growth journey. We don't want to get to the finish line without everything we learn, everyone we meet and the ups and downs along the way. All products are now available in XL! For our business efforts and achievments, Skarlette has been selected as finalists in both the EVAS22 and Best Businesswomen Awards - we learn if we are winners in September!
Skarlette, in June 2022, has seen one of our busiest times, great adventures and lots of achievements. We're just over half way through and still have more coming this month! We attended our first international lingerie and swimwear expo at the Interfiliere, Paris. Oh, so many creative ideas started to flow! We now want our big investor to come and help them all start transforming into reality. Talking really is the way forward.
This is me. Beauty is not defined by our breasts. These are my survival scars and these were necessary to help me survive and thrive after breast cancer surgery. These scars of mine are the inspiration behind the design of the Skarlette.
Skarlette is empowering women to feel beautiful in their skin - breasts or no breasts. It’s also about educating and informing women about breast health and breast cancer to save lives. We raise awareness through reflective stories, inspirational tales, and enlightening articles.
Amanda Savage Brown, PhD LCSW, is our most recent collaborator, and we are looking forward to the release of her book. The information she shares here about breast implant illness and facing explanting, is eye-opening. "The stories of women who explant to flat not only put a lump in my throat, they quite literally render me speechless. To understand why these stories impact me so profoundly, let me share a bit of personal context and professional perspective. As a mental health practitioner facing breast implant loss, I empathically and compassionately connected with the mental and emotional distress women may be feeling over breast implant through explant journey. But breast implants to explant, laced with cancer-related fear and loss, would usher in an entirely new silhouette and a foreign sense of self."
Skarlette is here to provide an outlet for those tough times in your life – sharing inspirational stories from women across the world. As women, we all know how tough it is to find the balance between our inner power and the outside world. Skarlette stories offer encouragement, hope and happiness to those who need it most.

I was diagnosed with stage 2 triple negative breast cancer at 31 years old. Knowing I carried the BRCA1 gene mutation at a young age, I knew I would need a double mastectomy at some point in my life...
