Disability-Led Shopping Platforms

Adaptista is a Fashionable, Adaptive and Inclusive Marketplace

Adaptista is a marketplace that provides design and fashion options for adaptive consumers and it's the first of its kind in the UK. The disability-led high-end shopping platform is on a mission to shift perceptions on what accessible and adaptive clothing should look like, and it does so with curated brands like Constant & Zoé, BP3 Underwear and Free Form Style.

Founded by garment technologist and disability advocate Maria O’Sullivan-Abeyratne to fill a much-needed void in the market for disability-led e-commerce options, Adaptista was custom-built and tested by disabled and inclusive software development experts. With text-to-speech, speech recognition, page translation, magnification and text styling, Adaptista, which describes itself as "the most fashionable adaptive and inclusive marketplace," is setting a new precedent as the adaptive clothing market only continues to grow.
