Bitty Braille is a new children's collection and the bitty division of Julie*Ann Handmade Goods, a small central NY based creative indie company.   The owner/designer, Julie Dutt, is the driving force behind the company.  Married to an Army guy and mom to three homeschooled children, life is often hectic, almost always fun and definitely not boring!

Personalized Braille name pendants and birthstone Braille initial charms were the first products in the Braille line of goodies.  Bitty Braille infant and toddler tees are the next step.

The concept is to introduce Braille to the young in addition to offering a unique, hip and trendy collection of tees. They are custom handcrafted by the owner/designer in her central NY home studio on 100% cotton American Apparel tees.

Bitty Braille tees feature simple "kid-friendly" words set in Braille type in either sparkly faceted metal studs for the girls or simple metal studs for the boys. The translation is hand-embroidered underneath in a simple print or cursive. They make great gifts for showers, birthdays or whenever a unique gift is needed.

A portion of every sale is donated to the American Foundation for the Blind (afb.org). The AFB is a national nonprofit organization founded in 1921 to provide research, representation, information and discussion regarding the possibilities for people with vision loss. Helen Keller worked for AFB for over 40 years until her death in 1968.
