For some, getting dressed can feel like a battle – buttons hurt, seams are bulky, tight openings call for a strength you may not have today. Mita garments removes these barriers. We help people dress with less
effort and more ease. We support bodies affected by illness, injury, ageing or
cognitive change. We believe comfort and dignity should coexist.

Most fashion starts with appearance. Mita starts with the act of getting dressed.

We consider:

• how hands grip and release;
• how bodies bend, sit and rest;      
• how energy fluctuates throughout the day.

We focus on adaptive design – not as hidden extras but as the foundation of each design consideration. Our garments are intentional, they feel intuitive and they work quietly. 

Many adaptive designs focus primarily on function. Mita considers the full experience - both getting dressed and how the garment wears. We look at the physical demands of dressing, the importance of personal identity, and how a piece feels and moves once it's on.

We think about how garments are put on and taken off, where strain occurs, and when assistance is needed. These needs are resolved through simple closures, considered construction, and ease of movement, resulting in clothing that supports comfort, dignity, and everyday wear.

Each piece is designed in Tasmania and made in Melbourne, by makers we know and trust. Working locally allows us to design with intention, stay close to production, and maintain consistent quality.

Yes. Our designs prioritise calm comfort and are designed for extended wear. With considered construction and fabric, our pieces support comfort, breathability and movement across changing temperatures and daily routines.

Yes. We treat each release as part of an ongoing process. Wearer feedback, observed use, and ongoing research inform refinements to fit, construction, and functionality over time. Improvements are made thoughtfully and incrementally, rather than through frequent or unnecessary change.

Care instructions are provided here Laundry & Care to help you maintain fabric
performance and garment longevity.

We design for people, not conditions. Our pieces make dressing easier and more comfortable for those living with limited dexterity, chronic illness, injury, or dementia – without compromising style or identity. For carers and families, our designs reduce handling, support independence, and remove unnecessary decision-making, easing the physical and mental load of daily dressing.

Dignity guides every decision. We prioritise comfort, orientation, and independence. If a detail adds unnecessary complexity or draws attention to itself, we reconsider it. Design should support the wearer quietly, without announcing itself.

Dignity lives in small moments – being able to dress independently, choosing what to wear and moving through routines without feeling rushed or handled. Our garments form a cohesive capsule wardrobe that simplifies choice while supporting ease of dressing. Consistent fits, interchangeable pieces, and considered construction reduce strain, frustration, and reliance on others during daily routines.

We developed a custom ponte knit to support ease of dressing and all-day comfort. Rather than using an off-the-shelf fabric, we worked closely with a small Melbourne-based mill to refine weight, stretch, and hand feel. The result balances structure with softness, offering gentle stretch, sensory comfort, and durability for everyday wear.

We built quality and fit into the foundation of our process. Over more than 12 months, we refined our patterns, fabric, and construction through repeated testing – from seam finishes to laundering outcomes.

Absolutely. Our pieces are meant to complement your current wardrobe or stand alone in a versatile capsule. Consistent fits and carefully considered palettes allow pieces to be mixed, repeated, and worn across daily routines.
