The Able Label Blog

Carers do the most incredible job, whether as a professional or caring for loved ones. We understand that the daily life of a carer can be very rewarding yet challenging, and that any support can go a long way.

The Able Label clothing is selected and designed entirely to help to ease the process of dressing and this often includes assisted dressing.

We have selected a range of both womenswear and menswear items featuring clever adaptive designs which we believe carers can hugely benefit from.

Sending gorgeous gifts this Christmas or shopping on behalf of loved ones? 

We love that so many of you purchase our adaptive clothing as beautiful gifts for family, friends and loved ones. We also like to shout about the fact we can offer VAT relief on the majority of them too. This is because they have been specifically designed to help make dressing easier.

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.

For those happy days at home this Christmas, get styled up and be proud to show off your added independence in our favourite winter pieces. Layer up for crisp boxing day strolls or down with some cosy socks and a cuppa by the fire ♡

Our wonderful bras are the secret star behind every outfit. They are key to all day comfort and support.

So how can we take care of our bras in return to make them last?

Autumn may have arrived but that can't stop us from dressing beautifully & with ease. Dressing up pretty pieces with smart and comfortable layering has never been so easy now that we have welcomed in some beautiful adaptive additions.

We are here to give you a quick taste of our ideal autumn layering with an Able Label favourite, The Danielle wrap skirt. 

This October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, helping to encourage fundraising, volunteering and most importantly, support for those affected.

If you are about to have breast or chest surgery, it’s crucial to find the right bra to take into hospital and wear in the weeks immediately after your operation. It is not only crucial for effective support but will boost your confidence and keep you feeling you.

In line with new regulations taking the safe step towards better protection in our communities, we have introduced reusable material face coverings.

Not only to protect yourselves and others where you can, 10% of each face covering sale will be donated to Cross Roads Kent, a leading charity for carers and the people they care for.

The Able Label ~ Our small independent business has now been up and running for just over 5 years.

We wanted to introduce the team to give you an idea of what has been achieved thanks to your support and the exciting changes which are yet to come ~

At The Able Label bras are a best seller. The adaptive design provides an extra ease of dressing and a little more independence.

Along with this we understand the importance of getting the fit just right, especially when shopping online!
