## Welcome to Girlfriend Collective
Girlfriend Collective is more than just a brand; it's a movement. We are dedicated to creating high-quality, sustainable activewear that empowers women of all shapes and sizes. Our mission is to redefine the standards of fashion by prioritizing environmental responsibility and inclusivity in every piece we create. At Girlfriend Collective, we believe that fashion should be conscious, ethical, and accessible to everyone.
## Our Story
The journey of Girlfriend Collective began with a simple but powerful idea: to create activewear that women can feel good about wearing, both in terms of comfort and conscience. Our founders, Ellie and Quang Dinh, recognized a gap in the market for stylish, high-performance activewear that didn’t compromise on sustainability. With backgrounds in the fashion and manufacturing industries, they combined their expertise to bring this vision to life.
From the outset, Girlfriend Collective was built on the principles of transparency and ethical production. We started by sourcing recycled materials and ensuring that every step of our manufacturing process met the highest standards of environmental and social responsibility. Our first product, the Compressive High-Rise Legging, quickly gained a following for its perfect fit, durability, and eco-friendly credentials.
## Sustainability at Our Core
Sustainability isn't just a buzzword for us; it's the foundation of everything we do. At Girlfriend Collective, we are committed to minimizing our environmental impact and promoting a circular economy. Our fabrics are made from recycled materials, including post-consumer water bottles and fishing nets. By transforming waste into beautiful, functional activewear, we are able to reduce our reliance on virgin resources and divert plastic from landfills and oceans.
Our dedication to sustainability extends beyond our products. We are constantly exploring new ways to reduce our carbon footprint, from utilizing renewable energy in our factories to implementing zero-waste policies in our offices. We believe that every action counts, and we are committed to making a positive impact on the planet.
## Ethical Production Practices
At Girlfriend Collective, we take pride in our ethical production practices. We partner with factories that share our values of fair labor, safe working conditions, and respect for human rights. Our main manufacturing facility is SA8000 certified, which means it adheres to the highest standards of social accountability. Workers are paid fair wages, work reasonable hours, and have access to essential benefits.
We believe in complete transparency when it comes to our production processes. We provide detailed information about our factories and the people who make our clothes, so our customers can feel confident that their purchases are supporting ethical practices. By choosing Girlfriend Collective, you are contributing to a more just and equitable fashion industry.
## Inclusive Sizing and Fit
Girlfriend Collective celebrates diversity and believes that every body deserves to be celebrated. Our inclusive sizing ranges from XXS to 6XL, ensuring that women of all shapes and sizes can find activewear that fits them perfectly. We use real women to test our products and provide feedback, so we can create garments that are not only stylish but also comfortable and supportive.
Our design philosophy prioritizes both form and function. Each piece of activewear is meticulously crafted to provide maximum comfort and performance, whether you’re hitting the gym, going for a run, or simply running errands. With features like four-way stretch, moisture-wicking fabrics, and thoughtful seam placement, our products are designed to move with you and enhance your natural shape.
## Our Products
Girlfriend Collective offers a wide range of activewear, including leggings, sports bras, tops, shorts, and outerwear. Each product is designed with the same commitment to quality, sustainability, and inclusivity that defines our brand. Our best-selling Compressive High-Rise Leggings are made from 25 recycled water bottles and offer a supportive, second-skin fit that customers rave about.
Our sports bras come in a variety of styles and support levels, catering to different needs and preferences. Whether you’re looking for a high-impact bra for intense workouts or a more relaxed fit for everyday wear, we have options that will keep you comfortable and supported.

We are particularly excited about our efforts to close the loop on textile waste.
