About us

Bradford and Bryan Manning are two brothers on a mission to cure blindness. At a young age, the brothers were diagnosed with an eye disease that destroys central vision over time. To fight back, they left their former careers in finance to propel a small charitable clothing company, Two Blind Brothers, into one of the fastest growing charitable clothing brands in the country with endorsements from Ellen DeGeneres, Ashton Kutcher, Richard Branson, NBC Nightly News, and many others. Their luxury clothing project is focused on quality, comfort, and "sense of touch". The brothers hired an organization of 70% blind and visually-impaired workers to produce the clothing in Dallas, Texas. Two Blind Brothers donates 100% of its profits to researchers and the foundation fighting blindness to find cures for blindness. The funds from two blind brothers are driving life-changing treatments that are already being used in patients such as the “Voretigene Neparvovec” treatment, a gene therapy developed by Spark Therapeutics. Two Blind Brothers also offers educational and consultation services to individuals and companies on branding, story-telling, corporate responsibility, sustainable fashion, and the visually impaired community. For more information, please contact Two Blind Brothers at hello@twoblindbrothers.com Bradford and Bryan are originally from Charlottesville, Virginia and currently both live together in New York City, where Two Blind Brothers is headquartered.

  • We’re beyond thrilled that with the launch of LoveTags came overwhelming support from our community. 💛 For Brad and Bryan, growing up with visual impairments meant the holiday season felt a bit different. While other kids rushed to the tree to see what Santa had left, they had to wait for someone to tell them which gifts were theirs. While it may have taught patience, it wasn’t the magical experience so many take for granted. That’s why LoveTags means so much to us. These are more than just braille gift tags—they’re a way to ensure everyone can share in the joy of the season. It’s heartwarming to hear from so many in our community who relate to this and are as excited as we are about creating a more accessible holiday experience. This is the first of its kind—a gift tag and collectible, infused with meaning and purpose. Accessibility is at the heart of what we do, because small things that might be overlooked by many can mean everything to someone else.

  • Happy Disability Pride Month! 🎉 July is a time to celebrate the strength, resilience, and achievements of people with disabilities. At Two Blind Brothers, we’re proud to embrace our identities and advocate for a world where everyone is seen and valued for who they are. Disability Pride Month is important because it highlights the contributions and stories of people with disabilities, fostering a more inclusive society. It’s a reminder that disability is not a bad word—it's a part of our identity that we honor and celebrate. Let’s continue to break down barriers and support one another. How are you celebrating Disability Pride Month? Share your stories with us! #DisabilityPrideMonth #InclusiveCommunity #Blind #Accessibility Image Description: The image has a black background with two curved banners.

  • When the world is more accessible... we all win! ✨ Today we celebrate Global Accessibility Awareness Day (#GAAD) with a heartfelt reminder of the importance of accessibility in our lives. This day is dedicated to raising awareness about access and inclusion for the 1 billion people with disabilities worldwide. Our image is a collage of moments where accessibility shines, from joyful playtimes and inclusive fitness to independent living and learning. These moments highlight the beauty and strength of an accessible world. Why do we celebrate GAAD? It started in 2012 by Joe Devon and Jennison Asuncion to get people talking, thinking, and learning about digital access and inclusion. It's a call to action for all of us to recognize the value of making the world more accessible for everyone. Because when we create a world that’s inclusive, everyone benefits. Let’s continue to advocate for accessibility, not just today, but every day. #Accessibility ID: A collage featuring various moments of accessibility: a child in an accessible swing, a person using a Braille book, a person in a wheelchair cooking, a child smiling with colorful hands, a person with a prosthetic leg practicing yoga, and a group of friends with diverse abilities interacting. In the center, text reads, "When the world is more accessible... we all win!" Below. #GlobalAccessibilityAwarenessDay #InclusionMatters #AccessibilityForAll #TwoBlindBrothers

  • Every day, we're grateful to every single person who has supported us in our mission, whether you took the Shop Blind Challenge, grabbed a pair of socks, shared our posts with a friend, or just followed along. Thanks to you, we are one step closer to a cure.

  • What if we started a brand with two simple missions: 1️⃣ Make the softest clothing we possibly could make with that vigilance to touch. 2️⃣ Donate 100% of those profits back to preclinical research to help the 11 million people who have a retinal eye disease. & that's when we came up with Two Blind Brothers. #Blind #BlindEducation #BlindAwareness #LowVision #LowVisionAwareness #Stargardts #LegallyBlind #TwoBlindBrothers

  • Heading into the weekend, we want to remind you of something we often have to remind ourselves: Your journey is unique, and your pace is perfect. Never compare where you are on your journey to someone else because no two journeys are the same. Where you are on your journey is exactly where you are meant to be, and you're there because of all your hard work and perseverance. You got this! #Accessibility ID: Two hands join together with text overlayed that reads, "Your journey is unique & your pace is perfect." #Motivation #Inspiration #PositiveVibes #SelfLove
