LESS WASTE, MORE YOGA
Arctic Flamingo is a small yoga brand based in Germany, one hour south of Munich. I create quality yoga clothes with wild patterns, loud and bright colours and experiment with more sustainable fabrics and materials.
Who we Are
Who we Are
HOW IT ALL BEGAN
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 with my first child in 2015. My only intention was that they should be unique and sustainable. 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 left the sewing table in my living room and made their way into the wide world. In the very beginning I used to do everything by myself from patternmaking and design to sewing. Arctic Flamingo still today is a one-woman-show and I still take care of a variety of tasks (designing, photographer, marketing, customer service, shipping, keeping on top of emails, etc.) but nowadays I work with wonderful professionals who do the sewing and patternmaking for me. Locally here in Germany of course!

SMALL, SPONTANEUS, NEVER OVER-PRODUCED
By producing in Germany and keeping it small and simple, our supply chain is small too, which means that I can tell you exactly where your leggings come from! 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!
