Innovative Cambridge company, DressCode, is now selling ‘geek-luxe’ face masks. Responding to the ongoing Covid-19 crisis, Andy Boothman and his inventive team (creators of the world’s first smart payment shirt, The CashCuff) have upcycled the beautiful, smooth cotton found in their tech-inspired shirts and pocket squares, to produce the range. They’ve worked closely with the NHS and frontline services to ensure the face coverings are not only effective, but also comfortable, so can be worn for several hours. The masks are washable, cost £14.99 and are available in a variety of ‘code’ designs, with 10 percent of each sale donated to the NHS.
