Most activewear is made from plastic, we choose a different path.

petroleum-based synthetic fabrics are chemical-intensive, shed microplastics over time, and contribute to long-lasting environmental waste, all while being worn directly against the body..

thoughtfully made, with you and our planet in mind.
