Donna Forte was born out of a pivotal moment in my life. It began with my diagnosis of breast cancer, which altered the course of my world. Although I knew life would be a little different now, my deepest desire was simple: to reclaim a sense of comfort, normalcy, and, above all, femininity.

Underwear shopping became tedious, and I dreaded trying on bras. No matter what I tried, nothing seemed to feel right, and even if it was comfy, it most likely did not make me feel desirable. 

My name is Caroline, and I am the founder of Donna Forte. With over twenty years of experience in the fashion industry, I knew I could use my knowledge to support other women like me who face similar struggles.

I aim to bridge the gap between fashion and function. Collaborating closely with specialist hospitals, breast cancer charities, and real breast cancer patients, I have crafted a lingerie collection tailored for women navigating breast cancer to transform the daunting task of underwear shopping into a more empowering and reassuring experience.
