Able2 Wear specialises in the design and manufacture of clothes for wheelchair users, or for anyone who has problems in finding essential clothing that fits properly. After extensive research – and with the kind co-operation of wheelchair users, carers and professionals – we have built up a unique collection of garments that ranges from waterproofs to trousers, offering clothes for every occasion.
But we are not a fashion company – we also offer a wide range of accessories all designed to solve those everyday problems.
Throughout design, manufacture and administration the staff at Able2 Wear work as a closely-knit team. Several wheelchair users have played an important role in our team over the years, testing garments and acting as models at our photography sessions, and although the photographers were anxious about the battered state of many of their wheelchairs we knew you would be reassured by the chipped paint and frayed cushion covers!
Our designers’ innovative ideas and their expertise in the design of waterproofs for wheelchair users is unequalled. Testament to their abilities is the string of prestigious awards won by them over the years, including:
- ECMOD AWARD for BUSINESS EXCELLENCE
- British Clothing Industry Award
- Scottish Design Award
- Queen Elizabeth Foundation Award
- British Healthcare Industry Award
- Millennium Product Status
- Glasgow Business Award.
