[blparent] Braill Clothes for Blind Children and adults

[Jennifer S Jackson]

Why does the press release need to refer to the child as "legally blind" if the clothes are for the blind and visually impaired people? Also, I thought the move was towards mainstream products rather than "ghetto" products? Is this a product anyone would buy for a child who is not blind?


Those are my first thoughts anyway.

I guess I might buy something like this as a novelty product. I have sent Braille board books to various sighted children over the years. This seems like something that might imply that I can not dress myself without special clothes, and would not be the message I would want to send., but

I got this from the crew at Blind Bargains.

Braille Code Inc. is a company which has created a line of clothing especially for blind and visually impaired people. Created by a mother of a legally blind child, their lineup includes shirts and accessories which feature a braille patch which aids in proper dressing and matching of clothes. For instance, on polo shirts, the patch is on the inside of the bottom of the back of the shirt. You can browse their products from their website.
 Here's some more information from the company's website. "Braille Code is not just a clothing line; it’s a brand that represents independence, self-confidence and pride. I want  the kids to wear the brand and claim it because it was made lovingly for them. My wish is for them to step out and let the world know that they now have a clothing name especially made for them. My goal is to help and give parents like me a way to give our children a sense of pride, independence and acceptance of who they are with Style!"
