Browndages was founded in 2018 when Intisar Mahdi and her husband, Rashid, were inspired to provide a better experience for their family. “The bandages we were buying did not match the flesh of our family,” Intisar toldPhoto: Courtesy of King Day Productions.
Also drawing from personal experience, Browndages has developed a line of more whimsical bandages for kids. The couple noticed that their three children—now ages five, eight, and 10—were very interested in wearing colorful bandages that had princesses and superheroes on them. “But none of those images that we’d purchase looked like them,” Intisar says. Secondly, “they couldn’t really grow up to be a princess.” As an alternative, the Mahdis had the U.K.
Recently, the brand earned the attention of Instagram after Lupita Nyong’o posted herself with a Browndage on her knee. “Finally, a bandage that blends!” Nyong’o exclaimed. “Thank you, Browndages for helping me conceal my clumsiness.” Intisar is still on a high from the post. “It felt really good to be seen by someone on her level,” she says. “It gave us exposure in places that we may not have reached otherwise.
