Sisters Ailbhe and Izzy have created something extraordinary by setting up their company Izzy Wheels, which sells bespoke artwork for Wheelchair spoke guards. Izzy, a wheelchair user and Ailbhe a fashion design graduate joined together to develop this fantastic product. Their aim is to break down the negative stigma related to the wheelchair, and focus on the positive impact it brings to people's lives. They prove to the world that a wheelchair can be a work of art. By purchasing an Izzy Wheel you are also donating to the Irish Wheelchair Association.
