Clothing the Pandemic

A Virtual Exhibition of COVID-19 Face Masks from Around the World

“chin up mask on” braille mask

Aille Design is an online company dedicated to inclusive and responsible fashion. The washable mask, made from organic linen and lined with organic cotton, is applied with Swarovski beads arranged in braille to read “chin up mask on” so it can be read and identified with touch. The inspirational saying was created in collaboration with blind, visually impaired and sighted communities. The mask can even be purchased with a co-ordinated scarf that can be ordered with custom braille text, and it arrives in accessible packaging.
