Clothing company in Japan designs underwear for women with breast cancer
Mie Bowman, a 36-year-old breast cancer survivor, started a business in Japan that designs undershirts with built-in bras for women experiencing discomfort due to breast cancer.
She was first diagnosed with breast cancer when she was 31, according to a profile from the Japan Times. Her own experience led her to beginning the business, Shitagiya Clove, in 2016.
“I thought there may be others with the same problem,” she said, according to the profile.
In addition to her business, Bowman holds group “fitting and chat sessions” every two months, meeting with women and talking to them about their experience. She also offers private fitting sessions.
