IT WAS NEVER PLANNED LIKE THIS…

 

I never thought I would work in fashion, let alone own a brand. It all started with yoga leggings that I designed and sewed for myself during maternity leave in 2015. My only intention was that the leggings should be unique, eye-catching, and made with recycled fabric. Then an amazing thing happened. Friends from the yoga studio where I used to practice in Munich paid attention to my designs and I decided to open an Etsy shop. The yoga leggings started to leave the sewing table in my living room and made their way into the wide world!

Over the years, the brand has grown and many things have changed, but the core of Arctic Flamingo remains the same: Creating brightly coloured yoga leggings from sustainable fabrics in Germany.

CHEERFUL, SPONTANEUS, NEVER BORING

 

The only thing I take seriously is sustainability. By producing in Germany and keeping the brand small and simple, our supply chain is small too, which means that I can tell you exactly where your leggings come from. I work closely with two garment factories here in Germany – If you ask, I can tell you which person sewed your yoga clothes!

 

I´m also consciously keeping our yoga leggings collection small and at a much more sustainable pace that’s kinder to the planet. I don´t bring new collections to market every season, I love freestyling and spontaneity, and bring new designs to our online shop only when I find beautiful color combination that inspires me, or a new sustainable material that I want to experiment with.

 

I hope my bold and vibrant designs inspire you to step on your yoga mat more often!  I enjoy creating these loud prints and searching for new innovative and more sustainable materials that are suitable for yoga wear. I’m excited to connect with yogis, yoga teachers and other eco-minded businesses – Please don’t hesitate to contact me if you share my values and want to collaborate!
