Mazi + Mom Sensory Friendly Clothing
Mazi is a fun-loving little girl with an eye for color who loves building things, but severe sensitivities often reduced her to tears and made everyday life miserable. Mom shopped, ordered, and searched for clothes that wouldn't make Mazi say "No, nope, uncomfortable, miserable, soooo tight, tag sooo scratchy, too heavy”…but simply couldn't find anything.
Finally we decided that sometimes you just have to make it yourself. We searched for the softest fabric, came up with a design that didn't bug Mazi, and set out to make designs girls would love. Mazi knew there must be other girls out there just as sensitive as her, so 'Mazi + Mom' was started to help girls just like her be comfortable each and every day!

Uniquely Regal Kids
Parent owned, adaptive & sensory friendly clothing brand that's stylish for littles and teens on the autism spectrum & has sensory challenges- where function meets fashion for special needs kids because fashion should be inclusive for all.
It all started when my son, Malik who has Down Syndrome and Autism couldn't bare wearing those boring compression vest when he was 6 years old. Due to his lack of verbal skills he would snatch it off and throw it across the room, so I had to assume the vests were uncomfortable. It wasn't until Malik got a little older and was able to independently dress himself when I realized it had more to do with his sense of style being invaded! After many observations of watching him get dressed, I often found him looking in the mirror checking himself over to see how he looked and more so, to see if his shirt had some sort of design on it and if not, it caused his meltdowns...this was super mind blowing, and this is when my interest to design stylish, functional garments to help with behaviors was awaken!

Working with children in the spectrum, I’ve learned that every child has the ability to learn and become independent with the use of visual support and with the right use of tools and help.
