Joe & Bella makes modern, adaptive fashion for seniors like CareZips pants and the Everyday Magnetic Button-Down for Men, which are stylish as well as supportive of dignity and independence.
Joe & Bella got its start when the Zollo family moved their matriarch into an assisted-living community and met Joe and Bella, two widowed Holocaust survivors. "Both Bella and my mother were fashionistas," said Peter Zollo, co-founder of Joe & Bella, "We tried to get both of them to wear adaptive clothes which make dressing easier, but they rejected everything we bought for them as deemed 'too cheap,' 'ugly,' or both."
With designs made for modern seniors, the Chicago-based adaptive apparel brand makes clothes that help seniors look and feel their best.
