Getting Started On Your Activewear Brand
Design more. Launch sooner.
A strong activewear collection typically includes four to six styles, such as two tops, leggings, and training shorts. Brands focused on Padel or court sports often add dresses and skorts to these essentials.
We recommend sampling one or two more styles than you intend to sell. Choose the best options, remove those that do not fit, or keep all. The $30 development fee per design is credited toward your bulk order, and additional sampling has minimal impact on cost or timeline.
Successful brands provide themselves with options from the start. Launching with only two or three styles in separate rounds results in double shipping costs and longer wait times.
If you plan to order fewer than four styles, please note that we are a production house rather than a design studio. We may not be the right fit for personal projects. Established brands wishing to test our quality are welcome; please include your brand name and website when contacting us.
Three Ways to Start
Submit your handover with your selected designs. For each style, indicate whether it will be a solid colour or a print. Exact colours, specific prints, and custom branding are confirmed after you approve our pricing.
1. Custom Designs (Private Label)
2. Ready-To-Order Designs (White Label)
Select from our updated range of bestselling activewear shapes, pre-graded to international sizes. The catalogue or shop reflects exactly what you will receive in your chosen fabrics and colours. Many brands proceed directly to bulk orders with these styles, reducing both cost and lead time.
3. Mix & Match
Performance fabrics & colours
Our fabrics are imported from the USA and Korea under our tax-free import licence, resulting in a 35% savings on landed fabric costs compared to other Bali activewear producers. We offer over 85 shades across three high-performance recycled fabrics, all ready for production.
Eco Olympus (Korea) offers high compression, suitable for gym and intense training. Comfort Luxe (USA) is soft and flexible, ideal for Pilates, lighter workouts, and athleisure. Motion Luxe (USA) provides a second-skin finish with contouring properties for form-fitting activewear and movement-based training.
All three fabrics are moisture-wicking, squat-proof, and body-sculpting. If you have your own supplier or require a colour not in stock, we can usually import these fabrics. Minimum order quantities for custom dyeing typically range from 100 to 300 metres, depending on the supplier.
If you are unsure which fabric best suits your needs, our Fabric Swatch Packs include real swatches, laser-printed colour cards, and accessory samples. Starter Packs contain your selected activewear set, allowing you to assess fit, flexibility, and compression firsthand. The cost of either pack is fully deducted from your first bulk order.

What to Expect
Once you have paid for your samples, we offer a free mock-up service, allowing you to visualize how your designs look on a 2D model in your selected colours & or prints. This allows you to make any last-minute adjustments before we start cutting the fabrics for your samples. Every piece will be custom-branded with your logo, heat-pressed inside the back, bagged, barcoded, and boxed. Your dedicated activewear merchant confirms all details before sampling begins and walks you through bulk ordering so you’re ready to move the moment samples arrive.

Support
What support is available after sampling?
Your merchant continues to support you after sampling, assisting with order collation across styles, colours, and sizes to efficiently meet minimum order quantities. They also advise on fabric selection, prints, and custom branding, including elasticated jacquard waistbands, under-bust bands, heat-press labels, and shelf-ready packaging. This support is also available to brands ordering directly from our ready-to-order range.
