London, March 2010 The Travelwrap Company, renowned for its contemporary wraps lovingly designed from the finest cashmere ethically sourced and knitted by internationally acclaimed Johnstons Mill in Scotland, announces its delight to partner with Maggie’s Cancer Care Charity. Niamh Barker, Founder and Creative Director, has designed an exclusive Travelwrap for the Eclectic collection the ‘Maggie’s Travelwrap’ to mark Maggie’s Day on 26th March.

Fashioned in a gorgeous palette of Sky and Dusky pink reflecting elements of Maggie’s
signature colours, the ‘Maggie’s Travelwrap’ combines comfort with contemporary living synonymous with Maggie’s Cancer Caring Centres. Each centre is architecturally designed to incite a calm and uplifting space where everyone affected by cancer can go
for emotional and practical support.

“Maggie’s network of centres is developing across the UK. In 2009 our centres received over 80,000 visits from people living with cancer, we want to help even more people. We can’t do that without supporters raising funds and awareness for Maggie’s and we are delighted The Travelwrap Company have chosen to support Maggie’s with such a wonderful product for our very first Love Maggie’s Day.”

The award winning* Travelwrap Company will be donating 30% from the retail price
£221 (incl VAT) of the ‘Maggie’s Travelwrap’ to help raise much-needed funds and
awareness for Maggie’s Cancer Caring Centres and ‘Love Maggie’s Day’. The wrap is now available to purchase on line at www.thetravelwrapcompany.com /T: 0844 800 1296.

Maggie’s Patrons include: Sarah Brown, Sam Taylor-Wood and Kirsty Wark who serve to
endorse Maggie’s ethos:
