ORGANIC COTTON
Grown without harmful pesticides and synthetic fertilizers, organic cotton offers a soft, breathable option that is perfect for yoga and casual wear. Not only is it gentle on the skin, but it is also biodegradable, contributing to a lower environmental impact at the end of its lifecycle.
HEMP
A highly sustainable option, hemp is known for its remarkable durability and breathability. It grows quickly and requires less water compared to conventional crops, making it an environmentally friendly choice. Hemp fabric naturally possesses anti-microbial properties and becomes softer with each wash, ensuring both longevity and comfort.
BAMBOO
Known for their incredible softness, flexibility, and antimicrobial properties, bamboo fabrics are a rapidly renewable resource that requires minimal water and no pesticides to grow. This makes bamboo an eco-conscious choice, ideal for sportswear that demands comfort and hygiene.

Linen is also biodegradable and requires less water and fewer pesticides than cotton, making it a sustainable choice for sportswear that values both style and functionality.
RECYCLED POLYESTER
Made from post-consumer plastic bottles, this material significantly reduces waste while providing excellent durability and moisture-wicking properties. It is an ideal choice for high-performance sportswear, as it maintains shape and functionality even after multiple washes.

Produced from sustainably sourced wood pulp, Tencel is renowned for its exceptional softness and breathability. This biodegradable fabric is created using a closed-loop process that recycles water and solvents, making it an eco-friendly choice. Tencel’s moisture-wicking properties help regulate body temperature, ensuring comfort during intense physical activities.
ECONYL
This innovative fabric is made from recycled nylon, sourced from ocean waste and discarded fishing nets. Econyl not only reduces environmental harm by repurposing waste materials but also provides high-performance characteristics such as stretchability and durability, making it perfect for swimwear and activewear.
