About The Company

Get the ins and outs

Wellicious was founded with a mission to change the fashion industry. The ocean serves as their inspiration, and their supply chain is entirely circular. Wellicious creates yoga and activewear made from organic cotton and elastane that can be 100% composted in your own garden. Almost all manufacturing is done in Europe, except for the cotton which is grown in Peru. Their supply chain is built to slow down fashion, making the products to last.

“To build a company that could produce long-lasting and circular yoga clothing and activewear, promoting the reuse and recycling of all
materials while eliminating fashion waste and pollution”
