EQL Threads: Redefining Adaptive Clothing with Equality and Style

Dublin, CA – In a world where inclusivity and diversity are gaining recognition, Sandy Fong and her sister Candy Velasco are at the forefront of the movement with their groundbreaking adaptive clothing company, EQL Threads. This innovative company is set to revolutionize the way people with physical disabilities dress by offering fashionable and functional clothing options.

A Vision of Equality

Sandy Fong, along with her twin sister Candy Velasco, established EQL Threads with a mission to address the limited selection of adaptive clothing available. Sandy drew on her background as a piano teacher, and Candy drew on her background as an occupational therapist. They recognized the need for clothing that caters to individuals with physical disabilities.

Their commitment to equality and inclusivity is evident in their brand name, EQL Threads, which signifies their belief that everyone should have access to clothing that meets their unique needs. Sandy explains, “I wanted to send a message that we are all equal, regardless of our abilities. That’s why we came up with the name EQL Threads.”

Creating Functional and Stylish Solutions

EQL Threads goes beyond traditional adaptive clothing by infusing style and comfort into their designs. Sandy and Candy have introduced a range of innovative features such as replacing buttons with magnets or velcro, incorporating one-handed zippers and using soft, stretchy, breathable fabrics. Sandy describes their fabrics as “very soft, almost buttery. Some people even compare it to Lululemon leggings.” These unique adaptations enable individuals with physical disabilities to dress with ease and confidence, without compromising on fashion.

EQL Threads caters to individuals who lead active lives, juggling work, family and travel. Sandy and Candy prioritize understanding their customers’ needs and desires, meticulously crafting each design with attention to detail.
