Company Website Summary
IZ Adaptive was born of creative passion, love, and the recognition that there was a great need in the world for stylish, well-fitting, comfortable clothes for people who were living with physical disabilities.
It is our mission to provide timeless adaptive clothing to as many people as possible so that they can live in comfort, style, dignity, and empowerment. Within the enormous and ever-expanding fashion world, there are relatively few options for those in our global community that identify as living with a physical disability.
The IZ Adaptive timeless classics have the day-to-day physical realities of our customers at the forefront of our thinking, from the cut of our jeans so to prevent bunching and discomfort, to the Ease-of-Dress of our coats. Whether seated or standing, we have something for you and we invite you to try on your perfect fit.
