After getting a taste for Richmond during a startup accelerator program
last year, a young Iowa-born company with a niche clothing product is
making Shockoe Bottom its home base.

No Limbits, which designs and sells jeans for amputees, expects to open
its headquarters in the 1717 Innovation Center on East Cary Street later
this year.

Owner Erica Cole, 26, founded the company in Iowa in early 2019,
inspired by the loss of a leg in a car crash a year earlier.

Upon receiving a prosthetic, she used her life-long sewing skills to alter
her own clothing as she adjusted to her new life. In its early days, the
company offered decorative covers for prosthetics and evolved to make
jeans with zippers on the legs to work around prosthetics more easily.
