This study paper intends to look into the multidimensional world of producing tactile and sensory fashion clothes particularly suited for those who have visual impairments. This research focuses on the fundament principle of this approach is that visually impaired individuals and communities should be the centre stage of the development process of tactile and sensory products. In addition, it analyses the potential advantages that may be received from the incorporation of tactile and sensory components into clothes, in terms of accessibility (...) also as a method of enabling visually impaired persons to express themselves via clothing. In this study, we take a deeper look at the challenges that arose throughout the development. By embracing this innovative approach, the fashion industry can pave the way for more inclusive and empowering solutions that transcend traditional boundaries and contribute to a more diverse and accessible fashion landscape.
