Should businesses prioritize inclusive design features in their holiday product collections?
Compleat has released a new Halloween costume line designed to accommodate the medical needs of children with feeding tubes. The collection, which features three unique costumes, was created in partnership with tube-fed children and seamstress Rose Watson.
Why it matters
This collection aims to foster a more inclusive Halloween experience by ensuring that medical accessibility is integrated into the design of children's costumes. The initiative also promotes awareness by encouraging the distribution of non-edible treats for children with dietary restrictions.
The Tubie-Ween Collection includes three specific designs developed with input from children aged 5, 9, and 19. Families can also access a digital toolkit that provides DIY instructions for creating their own accessible costume designs.

Parents can utilize the downloadable toolkit to modify existing costumes, allowing for greater convenience and comfort for children using medical equipment. Additionally, the push for non-edible treats encourages families to create more inclusive trick-or-treating environments in their local neighborhoods.
