THE ABLE LABEL: WHAT MAKES US SPECIAL?

THE ABLE LABEL: WHAT MAKES US SPECIAL?

Here at The Able Label, we're not your average clothing company... we're far more and we would like to take some time to explain why. 


The Able Label is an innovative womenswear lifestyle clothing brand that designs all styles in house alongside Occupational Therapists and customers and make all our lovely garments within Europe. 

The range of clothes discretely allow easier dressing for those who like to look good but find high-street fashion too fiddly or awkward to wear.  We appreciate that it's often the little things in life that can make the biggest difference so attention to detail is always at the heart of everything we do.

We help to overcome some of the day-to-day issues that can arise when dressing – independence, the desire to remain stylish and to maintain a sense of identity in spite of reduced dexterity and impaired mobility or cognitive skills.
