Aille Design has partnered with local Toronto fashion brand iloveYourMask to bring you the ultimate mask rooted in comfort, inclusivity and good design.

Stay safe and look great in our new handmade mask featuring breathable organic fabric and premium crystal pearls. The braille beadwork on these mask designs read "chin up mask on" or "i love your mask". We've selected colors that are easily paired with your existing wardrobe and are flattering to all skin tones. You can even personalize the mask with your own custom phrase up to 18 characters!

    Materials

    Legible braille created with premium crystal pearls. Fabric is very breathable and lightweight. Outer layer of mask is created with 100% organic linen. Mask lining is created with 100% organic cotton. Ear straps are adjustable and made with plastic to create a very comfortable fit.

    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.

    Royal Ontario Museum

    We're making history! Our braille mask was selected to become a part of the permanent collection at the prestigious Royal Ontario Museum in Toronto, Canada.

    The ROM's Unmasking the Pandemic exhibit featured 100 masks from around the world and included not just one, but two masks that advocate for disability inclusion!

    The exhibit is open to the publis until September 5, 2022. ROM Unmasking the Pandemic Exhibit Audio Tour

    Our braille masks are also available for purchase in person at the ROM boutique giftshop.

    Accessible Packaging

    Accessible packaging includes a large print and braille card describing the product and how to wash it. We use a braille slate and stylus to add all of the braille by hand. An embossed version of the Aille Design logo is also on the card.

    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!).

    Amazing 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.

    Braille 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.
