If you have a fashionable friend who is going through medical treatment, these pretty band-aids from Cynthia Rowley offer some supportive bling. According to the NY Times:
Cynthia Rowley has been busy jazzing up one unseemly necessity after another. Now comes something everyone could use: 14 fashion-friendly Band-Aid designs, created in collaboration with Johnson & Johnson. Among them, strips of sequins, gold chains and lace, as well as square-cut bandages that look like jewels. Packaged in two different arty tins, the Band-Aids are a limited edition, and $1 from each sale at Cynthia Rowley stores will be donated to Design Ignites Change, which mentors high school students. As we see it, no pain, no gain.
Oh my God – I NEED these! Do they sell them on the web, do you know, or only at her stores?
I LOVE those band-aids! Must have. Also, the skirt in your last post is gorgeous!
Ann, Cynthia Rowley has them on her website!
OMG DH and I go through more band-aids than any child-free couple on earth! And I thought Toy Story band-aids were cool!
Meredith P commenting brought me a
. I remember a “somebody” applying bandaides to probably every neighborhood playmatecirca 1967!
Uncle Dan told me, some years ago, how the item came about. A worker at a J & J plant had cut his finger. In order to work he took strips of adhesive & placed small section of gauze in the center, then wrapped the all in waxed paper. On the job, he periodically took a covered strip from his pocket to change the dressing. A supervisor saw this & took the idea further. As I heard the worker was given a small monetary compensation for his idea.
