ABOUT US

Born from a passion for timeless design and everyday comfort

What Makes Born Anxious Stand Out

Our aim is to create meaningful conversations about change and inclusion through sensory fashion that donates to charities and community groups. To empower others to raise their voice, to raise our voice for those who don’t have one and to remove stigma about disability. Advocating reasonable adjustments and achievable targets to celebrate everyone just as they are. - Kellie Barker

MORE THAN JUST CLOTHING

Born Anxious was created from real experience — where even a tiny label can turn a good day upside down. Inspired by my journey with Oscar, our mission is simple: to design comfortable, inclusive clothing that supports sensory needs without compromising on style or values.

Made to order in small batches, each piece reflects our commitment to reducing waste, promoting kindness, and raising awareness of invisible disabilities and neurodivergent experiences — one thoughtful design at a time.
