We only have one of these coats!! Aille Design is excited to continue to offer our upcycled one-of-a-kind braille clothing. This means we search for high-quality items from vintage stores and garment overstock, and apply our signature braille beadwork to them to create a unique, one-of-a-kind piece.

This wool and genuine leather coat has a classic silhouette that can be worn year after year. The dark charcoal grey color is easy to wear and adds a beautiful, but subtle contrast against the dark grey braille beadwork. The high neck stand collar on this coat adds a modern elegance. This is further highlighted by the braille beadwork that begins at the top of the collar and extends to the bottom hem of the coat.

Braille on front of coat reads:

Make inclusion an expectation not an exception. Fashion is for everyone. Diversity includes disability.

Braille on back of neck collar reads:

Aille Design

5% Donation

5% of t-shirt profits are donated to Visually Impaired Advancement (VIA), who we are honored to have a long-term partnership with.

VIA's goal is to help blind and visually impaired individuals achieve their highest level of independance. They are the largest and premier service provider to Western New York's visually impaired community.

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.

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.
