It all started with Rachel and her mom, Sandy, sewing upcycled weighted vests that didn’t look like the average weighted vests. Working from Boise and Spokane, the mother-daughter duo mailed vests back and forth for a year and a half to fulfill each order by hand, and the brand took off!
The Sensory Project found an American manufacturer to help design and manufacture the highest quality products, in order to help more children struggling with their sensory processing abilities.
