Why Mixing Ready-to-Order Activewear with Your Custom Designs is the Smartest Way to Start Your Brand

Launching an activewear label can feel overwhelming. With so many brands competing in this space, it’s easy to second-guess which shapes, fabrics, and styles will actually sell. One of the smartest ways to begin is by partnering with a manufacturer who offers both custom pieces and a ready-to-order collection based on proven market trends.
This approach lowers risk, speeds up production, and ensures your line connects directly with your audience.

1. Work with a Producer Who Understands the Market

A strong manufacturing partner doesn’t just make clothing—they track what’s trending worldwide. They know which activewear cuts are currently in demand and which ones are losing momentum. Tapping into that knowledge means you start with designs that already have traction in the market.

2. Save Time and Cut Costs with Ready-to-Order

Ready-to-order designs are already patterned and graded to international sizing standards. This lets you bypass the sampling stage for those items, saving time and money. You’ll only need to sample your custom styles, while the ready pieces can go straight into production.
Because these designs are already tested and refined, they often move into bulk faster than custom-only collections—helping you launch in weeks instead of months.

3. Activewear Trends Move Quickly

From seamless leggings to cropped tops, the activewear world changes season by season. Choosing ready-to-order pieces aligned with current demand gives you a strong head start, while your own custom additions keep the collection unique.

4. Match Fabrics to Your Market: Comfort Luxe vs Eco Olympus

Fabric choice shapes how your customers experience your brand. Our Power Fit performance fabrics give you options tailored to your market:

  • Comfort Luxe (REPREVE®, USA) – soft, flexible, and built for comfort. Ideal for athleisure, everyday wear, and light workouts like yoga, pilates, or padel.
  • Eco Olympus (Power Fit) – high-compression with excellent stretch and recovery. Designed for gym-focused training and performance-driven styles.

By knowing your target audience, you can choose the right base fabrics and balance ready-to-order with custom looks.

5. Stock Colours and Fabrics Ready to Cut

We hold one of Bali’s largest stocks of recycled, performance-grade fabrics and on-trend colours. With Comfort Luxe and Eco Olympus available in plain shades ready to cut, your order can begin as soon as your PO is placed. For brands seeking a unique approach, we also offer custom digital printing on recycled bases with precise results.

6. Lower Your Risk, Boost Your Results

Startups often run into trouble by investing heavily in untested designs. By mixing trending ready-to-order pieces with your custom work, you spread the risk while still building a collection that feels original. Ready-to-order doesn’t mean generic—you still stand out with your choice of fabrics, colours, prints, and branding.

Example Starter Activewear Collection

A simple setup many new brands find effective:

  • 2 pairs leggings + 1 paid traing shorts
  • 3 sports bras or tops.
  • Plus any other styles you are looking to produce.
  • In either Custom or ready-to-order designs.

This balance gives you a mix of proven sellers and your own creative identity.

Ask Before You Start

If you’re unsure where to begin, ask yourself:

  • Is my brand targeting gym-goers, sports such as padel, pilates, running etc, or a mix of both?
  • Do I want fabrics that feel soft and everyday, or strong compression for training?
  • Should I build around trending cuts like crop tops, or stick to classic shapes?
  • Would it make sense to skip sampling some ready styles and move straight to bulk?

The answers to these questions will shape your first collection, and I’ll guide you step by step.
