Dr. Sanchez first saw a need for adaptive apparel in 2015 when she co-founded an adaptive fashion company. In 2018 Saba joined the company to launch partnerships with fashion companies who saw the need for inclusive design, such as Zappos Adaptive and American Eagle's Aerie brand. Since then, the adaptive clothing market has exploded into a global movement. We quickly realized that we couldn’t meet all the needs of the chronically ill community, so our original company split into two groups and we created Spoonie Threads. Our mission at Spoonie Threads is to create products that improve your quality of life while bringing a smile to your face. We want to find the fun in adaptive expression, and create products that bring out your inner confidence, and inspire fearlessness. We’re currently focusing on adaptive essentials across diabetes, stoma, and tubie care.
