Women's activewear and yoga wear under your label

Activewear lives or dies on fabric and fit. A legging that goes sheer when you bend is not a legging. Here is how to get it right before bulk.

What this covers

Women’s activewear and yoga wear in our range include leggings, bras and tops, jackets, and lounge sets. They are made the same way as the rest of our womenswear: your design, our pattern room, your approval at each step.

Fabric comes first

Stretch fabrics vary a great deal. Decide what the piece is for — yoga, running, lounging — and how it should feel: compression or softness, matte or sheen, light or heavy. Send a reference garment if you can. We suggest fabrics and settle them before the sample.

Fit and construction

Stretch garments are patterned smaller than the body and behave very differently from woven fabrics. Seams, waistbands and gussets decide comfort. The sample is where you test these: wear it, move in it, and write down what to change.

Your label

Tell us about your labels, hangtags, logo placement and packing at the start, so they appear on the sample and the order.

The numbers

Our minimum is 100 pieces. A sample takes 3–5 days once the fabric is in hand, and bulk production 20–25 days. The steps are in How sampling works.

Questions

Can you put my brand on the garments?

Yes. Your labels, hangtags and logo application are planned into the sample and the order.

Do you have stock designs I can label?

We work from your style. Send a sketch, a photo or a reference piece and we make the pattern from it.

Can you match a legging I already like?

Send it to us. A reference piece is the best way to show fabric weight, stretch and fit.
