Every design has a story. Ours began in a hospital room.
When Kirsty's young son needed long term medical treatment, something as simple as changing his clothes or accessing his IV lines was slow, awkward, and often left him feeling exposed.
He wanted to wear his regular pyjamas & clothes but they weren't designed for the access his care required, nor were hospital gowns.
As both a mum and a trained nurse, Kirsty started thinking about clothing to work around medical devices.
Well Cool Clothing was incorporated in 2010 and the first designs were created and protected in 2011. At this time the company stayed dormant while Kirsty focused on caring for her family.
Over the following years she continued to refine the designs, trialling them at Helen & Douglas House Hospice, Oxford and using the valuable feedback. She finally had them approved (2nd time lucky) through Infection Control at Great Ormond Street Hospital in 2016.
Well Cool Clothing officially launched in 2017. Today, the company continues to design innovative patient wear for children, young people and adults guided by the same purpose that inspired that very first design.
Her son is thankfully well.
Testing our samples with one of our user group mums at Great Ormond Street Hospital over the past year! Exciting progress as we prepare to launch our clothing in 2026 / 2027
