Aille Design

📍 Buffalo, United States🗓 Founded 2020👥 4 employees💰 Last funded Jan 2024
What first started as Founder Alexa Jovanovic’s final university research project has since evolved organically into the internationally recognized and award-winning braille fashion brand, Aille Design (pronounced: eye). Alexa went from sewing one bead at a time in her dorm room to being a clue on Celebrity Jeopardy and having her designs worn on stage by world-renowned musician Andrea Bocelli. Aille Design works with the blind and visually impaired community to create fashion-forward clothing and accessories that feature fully legible braille in the form of beadwork. The braille on the items ranges from physical descriptions to empowering statements and is designed so that the braille is the focal point of each piece. The designs are functional for braille readers, but so beautiful that they can be loved and worn by anyone. Ultimately, they allow you to literally wear your values on your sleeve and promote conversation about the importance of accessibility. Each piece is co-designed with the community and a percentage of profits are donated to local visually impaired organizations.
