Aille Design LLC

About Aille Design LLC

Aille Design (pronounced: eye) is an emerging designer brand that works alongside the blind and visually impaired community to create clothing with a fashion statement you can feel. Our designs, which are created through a co-design process, feature intricate beadwork in the form of braille to communicate clothing characteristics, such as a garment’s color, fit, textile, and wash instructions. All of the braille beadwork is fully legible, customizable, and applied by hand using premium crystal pearls. Products are made sustainably in North America and 5% of profits are donated to Visually Impaired Advancement (VIA), who we are honored to have a long-term partnership with. Our designs can be used for the functionality of the legible braille, can be dressed up as a unique fashion piece, or can be worn to initiate conversation about disability, braille, and the importance of accessibility.
