Behind the Brand: Jilla Active

British sustainable activewear designed by a group of yogis - we were instantly impressed with Jilla Active. Here's some more from the brand:

One of the biggest inspirations to Jilla and their designs is planet Earth - sea blues, natural materials and earthy tones. The brand are on a mission to reduce their impact on the environment to keep their community exercising and practicing yoga in a world that is healthy and protected.

The goal is to develop in a sustainable way by reducing impact on the planet through all stages of the supply chain.

FABRICS

With each season, Jilla increase the number of styles made with more sustainable fabrics to the point where every item will be consciously made with responsible materials.
