Design Process
Design Process
The intricate braille beadwork is applied by hand with great care and precision. Our garments are created in a process called co-design where we work alongside a diverse team of sighted and non-sighted individuals consisting of braille readers, fashion stylists, and disability advocates. Each item is made in North America and is designed to initiate conversation about disability inclusion.

Very cute and comfortable
This is one of my new favorite masks. The color is beautiful, I love the message, and it fits so well (and is adjustable!).
United StatesAmazing mask
I love this mask so much! The fabric is soft, the beading is impeccable and I feel like a million bucks in it. All that on top of the brand’s inclusivity mission. Note: I really love the adjustable ears. I have a long face that’s not really wide so having that makes a perfect fit with size Large.
CanadaBraille is fashion
I love how the mask is unique by incorporating braille. The beads hold up very well and I appreciate how the mask straps are able to be adjusted to better fit my face. It is a soft material that doesn't cause any irritation. It's hard to find products that incorporate braille, and even rarer to find products that create braille fashion. I am very happy with my braille fashion chip up mask on mask.
United StatesMy Favorite Mask!
This is my favorite mask! It fits perfectly and is comfortable and breathable! I have no problems wearing it for an 8 hour work day! It's also very stylish, and I love how the braille beading is fashionable and inclusive! I always get lots of compliments and people asking where I got it! Thank you!
