You know what we mean without explanation.
You've done the maths on whether that activity is worth a flare. This is for that person.
We speak spoonie
Designs that say the thing you're thinking but can't always say out loud. No inspiration. Just acknowledgment.
Made for flare days
Soft, tagless, and sensitive-skin friendly. Chosen for people who already have enough to deal with.
Built from the inside
We're chronically ill too. This brand exists because we needed it. We're in it with you, not observing from the outside.
Made in spite of. Not because of.
The name comes from spoon theory: the idea that people with chronic illness and disability have a limited number of 'spoons' of energy each day, and have to spend them carefully. We're always running low. We carry on anyway.
We didn't choose the spoonie life. It chose us and then needed a nap.
Cutlery Crisis is for the people who've heard every inspirational platitude, smiled politely at every 'but you don't look sick,' and have developed a finely tuned sense of the absurd as a direct result. They are not bitter. They are hilarious. There is a difference.

Still here. Still wearing it.
Lovely and soft. Great quality print and nice and long so I don't get a draft wearing it in my wheelchair! Get so many compliments, highly recommend.
Incredibly comfortable, soft texture and unique design! Got mine in large for a baggy feel and provides a softness I've been unable to find in regular retail stores. Definitely recommend!
I FREAKING LOVE MY SHIRT!!! I got an XL and it is true to size. I have wide shoulders and it is the perfect width. It is also super soft and doesn't have the chemical smell a lot of new shirts seem to have. I can't recommend the clothing and the company enough! Plus the design is SO FREAKING CUTE!!! Forty-million stars! 😁
