About LippiRebel™

Hello, I’m Angie — founder of LippiRebel™ and a woman who spent far too long knowing something wasn’t right with her body but not knowing it had a name.

I didn’t discover lipoedema in a doctor’s office. I found it through social media, after seeing another woman whose body looked like mine and whose experiences sounded painfully familiar.

Suddenly, years of feeling ignored, misunderstood and misdiagnosed began to make sense.

I felt relieved. I felt angry. And then I decided to do something with it.

That’s how LippiRebel™ was born.

Clothing that says what we’re thinking

LippiRebel™ creates bold, honest and sometimes cheeky clothing for people living with lipoedema, lymphoedema, chronic illness and conditions that are too often dismissed or misunderstood.

Some designs raise awareness. Some start conversations. Some simply make us laugh at the ridiculous reality of living with a body that comes with its own full-time admin.

From LIPOEDEMA. LIVING LIFE ANYWAY. to Ignored. Misdiagnosed. Empowered., every design has something to say.

Because our clothes can do more than cover our bodies. They can help us feel seen, help somebody recognise themselves, or give us the words when explaining it all becomes exhausting.

Why “Lippi”?

The spelling is deliberate.

“Lippi” is a nod to lipoedema, but it feels warmer, less clinical and more like something we can make our own.

This brand began with lipoedema, but the Rebel Circle has room for anyone who has ever felt dismissed, doubted or told, “You don’t look sick.”

You might be living with it yourself. You might love somebody who is. You might still be trying to work out what on earth is happening to your body.

You are welcome here.

LippiRebel™ is a small independent brand with big ambitions. Every order helps it grow, reach more people and keep important conversations going.

We’re not hiding our curves, our compression or our conditions.

We’re wearing the words.

Welcome to the Rebel Circle. 💛

You’re not alone.
