New Warrior not Worrier Collection of Tees and Hoodies

Also available are new Warrior not Worrier iron-on patches are designed to adhere to cotton and denim fabrics.

It's Mental Health Awareness Week 2017 (May 8 - 14), and George Hodgson, founder of Maison de Choup, has announced the launch of a new Warrior not Worrier Collection featuring a range of 6 white understated cool cotton tees: Tear, Breathe, Faces, Resist, Warrior not Worrier (which also comes in yellow) and Light at the End of the Tunnel which has been created in collaboration with mental health blogger and author of "We’re  All Mad Here" Claire Eastham.

George said he wanted to create pieces which show a positive message of hope and demonstrate that we are stronger than our mental health, with 25% of the proceeds from the sale of the Warrior not Worrier t-shirts to be donated to YoungMinds, a UK charity committed to improving the emotional wellbeing and mental health of children and young people.

All Maison de Choup tees and hoodies are made from ethically sourced 100% organic ring-spun combed cotton, designed and made in London.

The Faces range of Tees is intended to express how the face shows contrasts with the crippling anxiety often felt inside the sufferer and how it is sometimes hard to express the emotional pain felt.

Tear is an attempt to express anxiety with a minimal motif which shows that the eye and tear are on different levels. Although tears are not there when sufferers don’t feel too bad they are always there below the surface.

Resist and Breathe are powerful words of support and a reminder for sufferers that other people are aware of what they are going through.

The Light at the End of the Tunnel t-shirt gives out a message of hope showing that anxiety can be conquered and sufferers can learn how to live a normal life with it. This t-shirt was developed in conjunction with award-winning mental health blogger and best-selling author of "We’re  All Mad Here" Claire Eastham. 

Claire writes about her own experiences of social anxiety and panic attacks with humour but without resorting to medical jargon.

George Hodgson created Maison de Choup in 2014 out of a crippling anxiety period that nearly ruined his young life.  An artist himself, George, with the support of his family and therapist, gradually turned things around and set up the Maison de Choup online designer fashion label working with a designer and support team.  Through Maison de Choup George financially supports the YoungMinds charity and from June will begin working for them as a paid helper.
