MOTHER'S DAY THANK YOU
THE ABLE LABEL BRAND MANIFESTO
The Able Label was founded by Katie after seeing the difficulties her grandmother faced dressing with Parkinson's. It was crucial that the clothes not only helped maintain independence and dignity but looked great too - being items women would want to wear regardless of ability or disability. This in-turn would also encourage confidence.
With this in mind, we are really excited to share our core values and beliefs. We'd love you to join everyone here at The Able Label as we do our best to live by this and celebrate fashion for all in 2019 and beyond.

We often get asked how does it work? Am I eligible, is my relative eligible? So we have put together this guide to make it all a little clearer.

LEAKPROOF UNDERWEAR NEVER LOOKED SO GOOD
For one woman in every three, a laugh can be awkward, a cough causes anxiety and a golf swing can lead to disaster. They’re living with a common but not commonly talked-about secret – they experience light bladder leakage.
We now have a new line of washable absorbent underwear designed for light bladder leakage - helping women maintain their style and identity as well as their self-confidence and dignity.
