SOLACE Collective: Sensory-Friendly Clothing for Neurodivergent People

SOLACE Collective was born from a simple truth: clothing should bring comfort, not anxiety.

For millions of neurodivergent people, everyday clothing is overwhelming — scratchy tags, agitating seams, tight waistbands, or fabrics that irritate the skin. Through our team's own lived experiences and conversations with over 500 people in the community, we learned that so many of our sensory needs remain unaddressed, contributing to a lesser mental well-being and a lack of belonging. We are passionate and driven to solve these issues for millions of people.

SOLACE is reimagining fashion from the inside out. Our first collection includes sweatshirts and sweatpants made with ultra-soft, tagless fabrics, seamless design, adjustable features, and hidden or visible fidget elements — all tested with and designed alongside the neurodivergent community. We’re here to offer reassurance and warmth, not just in fabric, but in how our clothing makes people feel within.

What Your Donation Supports

We’re raising $4,000 to cover key pre-launch expenses and directly contribute to producing our first collection:

* $1,200 – Final product testing and feedback from neurodivergent testers

* $1,000 – Marketing content and pre-order campaign prep

* $800 – Website upgrades to support pre-orders and accessibility

* $1,000+ – Toward the production of our first 400 garments

Why It Matters

This $4,000 gets us to a major milestone: production-ready and pre-order live.

Even small donations go a long way:

* $10 helps us reach more people through targeted ads

* $25 helps cover fabrics for garments

* $100 funds testing and feedback for an entire outfit

You’re helping build a brand that centers neurodivergent voices, needs, and comfort in every stitch — and every dollar brings us one step closer to launch.

Thank you for being part of the SOLACE Community.
