About: Joe & Bella is the first modern adaptive clothing brand for older adults and differently abled individuals; making dressing faster, safer, and less painful. Our patented products combine ease of use with style, addressing the underserved need for dignified, practical apparel in healthcare and for daily living.

Our Products: Cara Sumpton has led the initial development of our launch line. Cara was on the startup design team for Lululemon and designed the launch lines for Figs, Public Rec and more. Joe & Bella has also acquired the patent license for CareZips® adaptive-wear technology and we were recently named "Up and Comer" of the Year" by Chicago Innovation and our pants were named "Best New Product" by Caregiver.com.

Traction: Joe & Bella grew 100%+ from Q3 to Q4, despite not  increasing acquisition spend. The growth was largely driven organically (265% quarterly traffic growth).
