“BAO is my love letter to you. I am here to tell you that: You are seen. You are not broken beyond repair. You are enough. You are still beautiful. You are not defined by breast cancer.“
Christina Ursin, Founder of bao

The concept for BAO began when my body changed shape because of the surgeries and treatments that I received for breast cancer. Finding adequate clothing was difficult for me and I learned it was also difficult for others walking this same path. I was determined to create clothing that was both functional and flattering to meet the needs of the breast cancer community – a group of strong and powerful women.
