Care & Materials

CapeAble® Care & Materials:

CapeAble® product fabrics were thoughtfully and purposefully selected to enhance the feel and designed to be easy to care, easy to wear, easy to use.

      Magnets:

      We use magnets for clever hidden closures in many of our wearables collection (vests & capes) as well as our sensory enrichment products including the patented Magnetic Focus Fidget and LapPad. Strong enough to hold, quick enough for a safe release. the magnetic products interact and attract to each other!

      Laundry Tips:

      Magnets will attach to your washer and dryer typically without any harm to most equipment*, most other items in the laundry, or to your CapeAble products. Unfold and open to fully dry inside or outside the dryer. 

      * Refer to your washer’s and dryer’s manufacturer manual for guidelines.

      Some CapeAble products contain magnets. If you have a medical device that is affected by magnets, please choose a product without magnets.
