We’re proud to announce a new partnership between Wrapsthetic and Victoria Square Belfast, Northern Ireland’s leading shopping and leisure destination.

As part of this collaboration, Victoria Square’s customer wheelchairs have been fitted with custom Wrapsthetic Wheelchair Discs, designed to enhance the visitor experience while making accessibility information easier to access.

This marks an exciting step forward in our mission to make accessibility more visible, inclusive and integrated into everyday environments.

More Than Just Branding

The custom discs feature Victoria Square branding alongside a QR code that provides visitors with direct access to accessibility information.

Rather than searching through websites or asking staff for information, visitors can access important details instantly from the wheelchair itself.

It’s a simple idea, but one that can make a meaningful difference to someone’s experience.

At Wrapsthetic, we believe accessibility information should be available at the point of need, and this partnership helps bring that vision to life.

Why This Matters

For many disabled people, accessibility can often feel like an afterthought.

Venues invest heavily in customer experience, branding and visitor engagement, yet the equipment used by disabled visitors is frequently overlooked.

By incorporating accessibility information directly into customer wheelchairs, Victoria Square is demonstrating that accessibility is not separate from customer experience - it is customer experience.

Visible, thoughtful changes like this help create environments where disabled visitors feel considered from the moment they arrive.

Setting a New Standard

We’re incredibly grateful to the team at Victoria Square for embracing this concept and recognising the value it can bring to visitors.

As the first shopping centre we’ve worked with on this type of installation, we hope this partnership inspires other venues to think differently about accessibility.

Shopping centres, stadiums, arenas, airports, museums, visitor attractions and public spaces all have opportunities to make accessibility information easier to access while creating a more inclusive experience for their visitors.

Looking Ahead

Wrapsthetic was founded with a simple goal: to make mobility aids and accessibility products more empowering, personal and visible.

Seeing our products installed in one of Northern Ireland’s most recognised destinations is a proud milestone, but it’s only the beginning.

We’re excited to continue working with organisations that want to create more inclusive spaces and improve experiences for disabled visitors.

If your venue is interested in exploring custom accessibility discs or other inclusive solutions, we’d love to hear from you.

Together, we can make accessibility more visible, more engaging and easier to access for everyone.

We’re so excited to finally share that Wrapsthetic has been featured in Motability Lifestyle Magazine - a huge moment for us as a brand.

At Wrapsthetic, we believe disability aids shouldn’t have to feel purely clinical or impersonal. Whether it’s prosthetics, wheelchairs, crutches, mobility aids, or other assistive equipment, these items are part of people’s lives - and they deserve to reflect personality, creativity, and individuality.

Being recognised by Motability Lifestyle Magazine means so much because it shines a light on an important conversation - disabled people deserve innovation, individuality, and visibility too.

The feature highlights how Wrapsthetic is helping change perceptions around disability aids through custom wraps and designs that feel empowering, expressive, and stylish.

As a disabled-led brand, representation matters deeply to us. Seeing Wrapsthetic featured in a publication that supports and informs the disabled community feels incredibly special - especially knowing that more people may now discover our brand built around empowerment, accessibility, and self-expression.

We’re still only at the beginning of this journey, and moments like this remind us exactly why we started.

To everyone who has supported Wrapsthetic so far, thank you. Every order, message, share, and conversation helps push disability representation forward.

And to anyone discovering us for the first time through Motability Lifestyle Magazine - welcome. We’re so happy you’re here.

Stay tuned… we’re only getting started.

Last week, we had the honour of attending the Disability Action 40th Anniversary Gala. It was a truly special evening celebrating four decades of advocacy, support, and progress for disabled people across Northern Ireland.

For 40 years, Disability Action has played a vital role in championing the rights of disabled people. Through advocacy, services, and community initiatives, they have helped create opportunities, push for greater accessibility, and support individuals in living more independent lives. Their work has had a meaningful impact on so many people and families, and it was inspiring to be in a room celebrating everything they have achieved.

At Wrapsthetic, our mission is to support and empower people who use disability aids, while helping to challenge perceptions around disability and visible difference. Representation and confidence matter, and creating spaces where people feel seen, supported, and celebrated is incredibly important.

That’s why organisations like Disability Action are so vital. Their commitment to equality, inclusion, and opportunity aligns strongly with what we stand for at Wrapsthetic, and we are incredibly proud to support everything they represent.

Looking ahead, we hope to work closely with Disability Action and continue building connections that strengthen the disability community. Collaboration and shared purpose are key to creating meaningful change, and by working together we can help amplify the voices and experiences of disabled people.

The night was a reminder of the incredible work being done by Disability Action and why supporting organisations like this is so important. Here’s to the next 40 years of progress.

Wrapsthetic co-founder Bernadette Hagans was honoured to speak at Victoria Square’s Sister Season event in celebration of International Women’s Day, joining a powerful line up of women sharing their stories, experiences, and advice.

The event brought together women from different industries and backgrounds to celebrate empowerment, resilience, and the importance of supporting one another. Hosted in the heart of Belfast at Victoria Square, Sister Season created a space for open conversation around ambition, challenges, and the journeys that shape women’s lives and careers.

During the talk, Bernadette shared her personal story - from being diagnosed with a rare cancer, synovial sarcoma, to becoming an amputee, mother, content creator, and entrepreneur. She spoke candidly about navigating life after amputation and how that experience ultimately led to the creation of Wrapsthetic.

At the Sister Season event, Bernadette spoke about the power of resilience and the importance of turning life’s challenges into opportunities for change. She also shared insights into building a brand with purpose, highlighting how Wrapsthetic aims to create both representation and innovation within the disabled and fashion spaces.

A key theme of the discussion was the importance of women supporting other women. International Women’s Day is not only about celebrating achievements but also about creating opportunities for future generations - something that resonates strongly with Bernadette’s work across business, advocacy, and community initiatives.

Speaking at Victoria Square’s Sister Season event was an incredibly meaningful moment for Bernadette and for Wrapsthetic. It provided an opportunity to share the brand’s mission with a wider audience while encouraging others to pursue their ideas, embrace their individuality, and redefine what is possible.

International Women’s Day is a reminder that every story has the power to inspire change - and events like Sister Season highlight just how impactful those stories can be when women come together to share them.

We hope you all had an incredible International Women's Day & appreciate all of you that celebrated this with us. 

Wrapsthetic co-founder Bernadette Hagans recently appeared on Ireland AM, bringing the story and mission behind Wrapsthetic to a national television audience. She also debuted our new kit, Gold Leopard.

During the interview, Bernadette spoke about how Wrapsthetic was created and why personal expression and representation of disability matter so much. As a cancer survivor and amputee, Bernadette has always believed that disabled aids should be more than just medical devices - they should feel personal, empowering, and reflective of the person wearing them.

Bernadette lost her right leg in 2018 after being diagnosed with synovial sarcoma, a rare cancer affecting the soft tissue around joints. Rather than hiding her prosthetic, she began customising it with colourful wraps and designs, turning it into something that expressed her personality and style. 

That idea eventually evolved into Wrapsthetic.

Wrapsthetic creates removable wrap kits designed to transform disability aids from something purely clinical into something expressive and unique. The wraps are easy to apply, removable, and designed to give disabled users the freedom to change their style whenever they want.

Speaking on Ireland AM, Bernadette shared how the inspiration came directly from her own lived experience. After years of changing the look of her own prosthetic, she realised that many amputees wanted the same opportunity to personalise their limbs but didn’t have accessible options to do so.

Wrapsthetic was created to fill that gap.

During the Ireland AM segment, Bernadette also spoke about the growing community of disabled people who are embracing individuality and redefining what disability representation looks like.

For many people, disabled aids have historically been designed to blend in or remain unnoticed. Wrapsthetic challenges that idea by encouraging people to celebrate their disability rather than hide it.

Bernadette’s appearance on Ireland AM was an exciting moment for the brand, helping introduce Wrapsthetic to a wider audience and continuing the conversation around visibility, identity, and confidence for prosthetic users.

As Wrapsthetic continues to grow, the mission remains the same: to empower people to feel proud of their disability and to show that style, creativity, and disability can exist beautifully together.
