Wellicious - Compostable Yoga Leggings & Yoga Top

SUSTAINABILITY

The fashion industry can be a dirty bastard!

We put sustainable thinking at the centre of everything. We want to give you the freedom to focus 100% on your yoga and gym practice – without worrisome thoughts about your ecological footprint.

According to Fashion Revolution, it takes 20 to 200 years for elastane sport clothing to decompose – the higher the elastane content, the longer it takes. Additionally, the normal dying process leaves traces of colour in wastewater – which not only harms the environment but can also be unhealthy for your skin.

Those facts were behind our motivation to create yoga and activewear which is safe for both our customers and the environment.

We’re Certified.

We take greenwashing in the fashion industry seriously, this is why we have integrated our fashion supply chain in the certification of our products. All of our products are Cradle to Cradle Certified® Gold by the Cradle to Cradle Products Innovation Institute, and have received the highest Platinum award for material health. This means that no trace of microplastic has left behind in the ocean or ground. We have a supplier confidentiality policy as it took us years to develop this circular fabric. But as a requirement of the Cradle to Cradle Innovation Institute, we have exclusively collaborated with suppliers and manufacturers accredited by the Cradle to Cradle Institute to ensure that all our yarns, fabrics, and supply chain components are certified. You can find all our Certified Suppliers here on the official Cradle to Cradle Innovation Institute website. On top, an independent assessor guarantees the alignment of our warehouse, suppliers, and production facilities with the rigorous standards established by the Cradle to Cradle Institute, ensuring their inclusion in our transparent system.

All of our products manufactured after 2020 meet the highest environmental standards as Cradle to Cradle Certified®.

Made to Last.
Lightweight yet strong, our silhouette-smoothing fabrics allow you to move freely and offer opacity, providing you with confidence throughout every pose. We work with only the best European suppliers to guarantee exceptionally high quality and attention to detail, ensuring a longer garment lifecycle. Our products hold their shape, wear after wear, season after season.…We’ve even surprised ourselves with just how long-lasting they really are!

Made in Europe.
We are committed to ethical yoga fashion and activewear. Our company is based in London and Germany. Apart from our GOTS certified organic cotton (please contact us at info@wellicious.com for the certification number) sourced from Peru, everything – including our yarns, labels, and fabrics – is manufactured in Germany, Austria, Switzerland, and Italy. Our final collection pieces are sewn in Bulgaria.

    Having our entire production process made in Europe also means shorter distances between our manufacturers, warehouses and headquarters help us reduce our carbon footprint, thus reducing the strain on our planet’s natural resources, minimizing our impact on climate change. We maintain the highest working and environmental standards in full compliance with European health, safety, and environment principles and at the same time, we reduce the Product Environmental Footprint (PEF) of our garments.

    We love Slow Fashion.

    We love long-lasting design and believe in quality instead of quantity. We care that our products aren’t disposed of after every season, but rather are made to last for years. We love what we do, and make sure we are doing it in a sustainable way.

     Wellicious and Social FairnessSocial Fairness is important to us.

    We love that our garments are produced in Bulgaria as we love the Bulgarian Social Security Rights! More on it, here.
