Celebrating 95 Years of Silverts Adaptive Clothing
Silverts Adaptive Clothing & Footwear, renowned for its dedication to creating inclusive fashion, proudly marks a remarkable 95 years of innovation and service. Established in 1930, Silverts has become the leader in adaptive clothing solutions, particularly catering to those with mobility challenges and their caregivers. In the wake of a recent management buyout, the company is not only reflecting on its illustrious history but also re-committing to its mission of fashion inclusivity.
A Legacy of Adaptive Fashion
With nearly a century of experience, Silverts has been instrumental in providing high-quality clothing that addresses the specific needs of individuals facing dressing challenges. According to Joshua Norris, the CEO, this anniversary is not just about commemorating the past but also about celebrating ongoing dedication to inclusivity in fashion. It symbolizes a promise that Silverts will continue to create solutions that meet the diverse needs of a growing community.
Innovative Developments for a Diverse Community
In preparation for this significant milestone, Silverts has mobilized a team of experts, including gerontologists, merchants, and designers, who specialize in adaptive needs. Their human-centered approach to design ensures that the clothing produced is both functional and stylish, making dressing easier for users.
Among the innovations that Silverts is proud to present are:
- - Magnetic Closures: Simplified fastening options for enhanced independence.
- - Open-Back Designs: Ideal for those who rely on caregiver assistance.
- - Seamless Clothing: Ensuring maximum comfort for sensitive skin.
- - Adaptive Jeans and Pants: Features elastic waists and pull handles for convenience.
- - Extra-Wide Footwear: Designed to alleviate foot ailments and minimize fall risks.
As Andrea Wurster, Vice President of Product and Partnerships at Silverts, states, “Our goal is to provide clothing that gives users both independence and confidence.” This commitment to quality ensures that the garments not only serve a purpose but also allow individuals to express their unique style.
Reviving the Nursing Home Program
In an effort to re-engage with the community, Silverts is also announcing the relaunch of its once-thriving nursing home program. Having scaled back during the pandemic for safety reasons, Silverts is excited to once again partner with nursing staff and residents across North America. This initiative will enable them to assess individual needs effectively and deliver appropriate products that enhance residents' independence and well-being.
Expanding Global Reach and Celebrations
Further commemorating their 95th anniversary, Silverts is set to expand its customer base beyond North America, offering global shipping to better serve caregivers and individuals worldwide. They are also planning to introduce a contemporary clothing line aimed at younger demographics, all while continuing to uphold their best-selling legacy designs.
To honor this milestone, Silverts will host various discount events throughout the month, ensuring that customers can celebrate alongside them.
The Future of Adaptive Clothing
As Silverts looks ahead to the next 95 years, the demand for adaptive clothing is rising. By 2030, all baby boomers will be over the age of 65, which indicates an increased need for inclusive, adaptive clothing solutions. With a firm belief in their mission, Silverts is more committed than ever to developing innovative options that facilitate easier dressing for individuals and those who assist them.
