Must have trendy semi-skinny kids jeans for travel, appointments and casual days

The design of these original kids’ wheelchair jeans aims to achieve a trendy style that gives comfort and accessibility that enables independence and make dressing easier for disabled children.

The design is thought through every detail from the material, the aim and essential purposes.

There are no front or back pockets, making it more comfortable as it lessens the pressure in the delicate areas when sitting.

It has a high waist that gives enough coverage at the back and reduces stress on the tummy area.

Also there is a velcro closing at the front waist for easy access and a gartered back for size flexibility.

The jeans include side zippers with a palm-size loop puller – this allows easy access to catheters and when changing pads.

Jean kid sizes:

  • 6-8 years – Waist 61cm or 21 inches | Leg length 56cm or 22 inches
  • 8-10 years – Waist 63cm or 25 inches | Leg length 62cm or 24 inches
  • 12-14 years – Waist 66cm or 26 inches | leg length 71cm or 27 inches

About Optivus

“Optivus is the first streetwear-inspired and adapted clothing entirely dedicated to people with physical disabilities.”

Moulded with its versatility and commitment to give comfort, functionality, affordability and yet would uplift the user’s spirit. It is inspired to make life easier and dressing more accessible to the user and the people who support them – making dressing fun and less stressful, creating a memory.

Optivus is conceived out of a mother’s struggles to dress her disabled child. Her son Liam was diagnosed with Type 1 glutaric aciduria, a rare metabolic condition that doesn’t allow him to synthesise protein and results in brain damage.

Diagnosed at 10 months, he went from a healthy baby to a severely disabled infant. Her child’s stiff limbs and spasms turned what would typically be a 10-minute dressing routine into a marathon that could take up to an hour to complete.

Optivus is fuelled by its goal to make users valued, empowering self-esteem and self-acceptance by rendering a treasured experience. The product collection – clothing, shoes, and accessories – are revolutionised with quality, long-lasting materials that are trendy and stylish.

Optivus uses packaging that is useful to our daily living, giving a solution to a necessity and limiting plastic use. It values humanity and respects nature.

Optivus will always be inspired by its one promise…to optimise!
