About us

Thank you for visiting our website. I hope you are able to find a cast or brace cover or mobility accessory to brighten your day and add a little "Bling" when you need it most.

I started Busted BlingTM after breaking my wrist and elbow by falling over a concrete footpath! In a full arm cast for 1 ½ weeks (and hating the colour that I chose), I asked my partner to spray-paint it a different colour! Then I was placed in a short-arm cast for 3 ½ weeks - what a relief. I chose purple fibreglass this time, but after a few days the novelty wore off and I had to select my clothes to match my cast (it's a female thing!) and one only has so many options each day, whether you are a child or an adult!

After a week the colour started to fade and the padding became dirty and generally unattractive. I had to start back at work and then my boss told me we had to go to a black tie awards night - WHAT WAS I GOING TO DO?? I wasn't going to Bling myself up and have an ugly purple cast as an accessory. So I raced around, found some black silk and with the help of a good friend and my partner, I created my first "prototype". After this, I became so excited about the idea, and noticing the lack of anything else on the market, I began what is now Busted Bling.

I am constantly sourcing new patterns and fabrics to ensure our designs stay fresh yet practical and wearable, and I would love to hear from you if you would like something specific that is not displayed within the pages of this website.

A special thank you to my wonderful Jason, who sat pinning, sewing and cutting late into many nights, was and continues to be my devils advocate yet my biggest supporter; To my boys for helping me select the youth range of fabrics, cleaning up my mess and being my everything; Trudy Nicol of Trudysign Sportswear for being an angel who came to me at exactly the right time and continues on this amazing journey with me; my friends for their fantastic support and my mum and dad for their honest advice.

I wish each of you a speedy recovery and may the pain I know you are feeling subside enough for you to enjoy wearing your new "Bling"!

Yours in broken limbs,

Peta
