We Want Your Bra!




Most of us have been touched in some way by breast cancer, be it a loved one, a colleague or a friend.  The developments in cancer research and the improvement in awareness and early detection during the past decade has seen the number of deaths from this devastating disease decrease dramatically however too many women will not survive the fight of their life and will not live to see a cure found. Despite the significant advancements made, it is important that we stay focused on the ultimate goal.

 With all this in mind we are very happy to announce that between now and September 2013 Meshh is supporting MY LIFE. MY STYLE.'s World Record attempt at the Longest Bra Chain. MY LIFE. MY STYLE. is hoping, with a little help from friends, to collect 200,000 bras and raise $200k for breast cancer research. The current world record of 170,000 bras is held by a group of New Zealand Girl Guides. So you see, 200,000 is a very achievable goal and besides, in the true spirit of trans Tasman rivalry, we can't let the Kiwi's have this one over us for too long. 

How can you help you ask? 


Well we have been registered as an official drop off point which means you can donate your old bras by dropping them in to Meshh at our Byron Bay store along with a $1 donation per bra. All funds raised will donated to the Cancer Council of Queensland.

After the Worlds Longest Bra Chain record attempt has been judged in October next year, all wearable bras will be donated to those less fortunate than us so please, take stock of your lingerie drawer. If it no longer fits, has lost it's stretch, has seen better days then we want your bra!!

Big love x
