Every October, Breast Cancer Awareness Month brings renewed attention to the impact of breast cancer and the importance of awareness, prevention and early detection. It is a cause Carrol Boyes has long supported, and this year, the design house is putting pen to purpose.
In partnership with CANSA's 'Purchase with Purpose' campaign, Carrol Boyes is introducing a limited-edition Pink Legacy Pen for Breast Cancer Awareness Month, says the company.
Created as a special edition of the Carrol Boyes Legacy Collection, in ballpoint, rollerball and fountain pen formats, they are distinguished by a pink body and signature sculptural "Woman" motif. The female figure emerges gracefully to form the clip, rendered in gold finishes. As she has throughout Carrol Boyes' work, the woman becomes more than an artistic motif, she represents resilience, elegance and enduring femininity. It is a fitting expression for a pen created to carry a message that deserves to be written, shared and remembered.
The collaboration will extend beyond the limited-edition pen. On Wednesday, 21 October, CANSA will host its annual High Tea, honouring life, survivorship and caregiving. Carrol Boyes is proud to partner with and sponsor the event, adds the company.
The occasion continues a cause that was deeply meaningful to Carrol Boyes herself. As an advocate for breast cancer awareness, Carrol encouraged people to recognise the role each of us can play in educating and supporting those around us, "Woman to woman, sister to sister, mother to daughter, families, friends and colleagues help educate and raise awareness."
Boyes's commitment to the cause also lives on through her artwork. Her sketch, aptly titled Strength, celebrates resilience through the expressive female form. Depicting a graceful figure enveloped in pink, the artwork captures an unmistakable sense of feminine confidence and inner strength, says the company.
Today, the Strength Collection carries that symbolism forward. Serving as both a meaningful gift and a reminder of the resilience represented by the women at the heart of Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
Carrol Boyes honours a message Boyes herself championed: awareness begins when we choose to speak, share and support one another, concludes the company.
