Crystal Cups was born out of the desire to incorporate the healing and well being properties of crystals into a contemporary and fashionable range of clothing, made from intelligent multi-tasking fabrics that deliver in all aspects and are as kind to the wearer as they are to the planet.

Our debut bamboo range consists of a capsule collection designed with versatility in mind for extreme comfort whilst partaking in yoga,pilates or for everyday wear.

Layer it, ruche it, wear it with jeans under a big Aran cardigan and sheepskin boots or wear it to the beach. This naturally thermo-regulating bamboo fabric offers cooling or warming clothing where needed. The super soft bamboo and incredible stretch this collection affords makes all possible, when stretched it loses none of its opaqueness neither is the appearance of the fabric compromised in any way. Add to this the skin soothing properties of this anti-bacterial, anti-static and anti-fungal wonder material which also blocks 98% of the suns UV rays and it becomes apparent how superior bamboo is as a lifestyle choice and statement. When we refer to an intelligent collection it is not only the beneficial properties of bamboo but the cut of our garments which assist movement and fluidity enabling the wearer to feel comfortable and in turn confident. The cleverly though out integration of added panels, empire line and bias cuts with dipped hems are what makes this collection so incredibly easy and pleasurable to wear.

At the heart of this company are the crystals that lie next to your heart chakra in the hidden inner pocket that feature on all of our clothing and which we supply with each top.

We believe in our fabrics and intelligent designs and want to carry this over in the future to more products in this lifestyle brand including a bamboo denim range and home furnishings to include bedding and nightwear/loungewear.

cool when you are hot yet warm as cashmere when you are cold. This fabric delivers in so many aspects

both to the wearer and the planet. It is an anti-bacterial fibre that is soft and kind to the skin especially

suitable for sensitive allergy pone skin, it is breathable also offering natural built in UV protection blocking

an amazing 98% of rays. The fabric is also anti-static and anti-fungal which ensures physical comfort and

peace of mind to the wearer whilst these attributes ensure longevity to the fabric and clothing.

Bamboo is a sustainable resource a member of the grass family that grows naturally and organically it

requires no pesticides or watering as it cleverly soaks up what is needed through the atmosphere. It is

biodegradable and grows extremely fast in little space so no de-forestation is required to produce it.

All round bamboo is both kind to you and the planet and it for this reason that CC Life style have

designed the new S/S collection exclusively in Bamboo.

Here, we invite you to have a sneak peak into what went on behind the scenes in the Crystal Cups studios…

Bunmi Aboaba Founder & CEO

Crystal Cups Lifestyle

Hailing from Leeds the heart of Bronte Country Bunmi Aboaba is the founder of Crystal Cups Lifestyle. An

upbringing in the country where she regularly went hiking and rambling allowed her to appreciate the full

effect of the seasonal changes to her environment and all of natures beautiful colours and variations. This

made a real impact on Bunmi and is the reason today she is so passionate about the colours used for the

range.

Discovering and becoming interested in the wellbeing properties of crystals Bunmi went on to study crystal

therapy becoming a holistic therapy expert. Holistic therapies are the fastest growing market in the world

and Bunmi set about turning her desire to revolutionise the way women interact and wear their crystals by

creating Crystal Cups Lifestyle. Coupling her interest in fashion and the holistic benefits of crystals she set

about finding a way of incorporating the well being properties of crystals in a contemporary, fashionable

active/lifestyle wear range for women who love being stylish and want to benefit from crystals.

A contemporary easy to wear clothing line with holistic values. The signature feature lying at the heart of

the brand is the hidden integrated pocket that houses the small tumbled crystals next to the heart and 5tht

chakra. As Bunmi found out herself keeping crystals on one’s self can be impractical if not worn in the form

of jewellery and this is a wonderful way to wear them that if you choose nobody needs to know.

Tiring of the sweat inducing synthetic fabrics commonly used in active wear Bunmi wanted to use natural

fabrics for her clothing that are as kind to the wearer as they are to the planet. The new yoga range is

exclusively made from bamboo which is an organic sustainable fibre that is both thermo-regulating and

anti-bacterial.

Crystal Cups Lifestyle hopes to expand the product lines to include a bamboo denim range and bamboo

bedding and lounge wear.
