  • Why buy Tonic?

    In March 2004 the Canadian designed and manufactured yoga/active wear company Tonic opened. Inspired by west coast life, Tonic provides today’s women with a lifestyle line that supports a healthy and active life.

    Tonic clothing is fashionable and functional for all workouts; not just yoga. Simple and clean, Tonic’s style is for both urban living and athletics. It’s fit, function and fashion celebrates the union of inward and outward beauty.

  • Teeki - made from recycled water bottles.

    Teeki sells fast. Not only does Teeki have a unique style it is ethically manufactured and environmentally friendly. The durable, quick dry polyester is made from recycled water bottles.

    From the recycling centre bottles are sorted by colour. Labels are stripped. Bottles and lids crushed and chopped into pieces. Pieces are made into pellets. Pellets are melted and extruded into fibres. Fibres are then crimped cut drawn, stretched and baled. The baled fibres are then turned into fabric for a variety of products and uses.

    Another great feature is the price! It’s lower than competitors who outsource labour to factories on other continents. Why pay more when we can buy products made close to home? Shop ethical. Shop local.

  • Why choose Vancouver's Karma Wear?

     

    Karma believes that every woman and every community deserve all that is possible in life. We believe strongly in honouring and empowering women both on and off the mat.

    Karma is redefining yoga apparel. Think striking details, a mixture of high-performance and elegant après fabrics, and a luxurious colour palette. Inspired by movement, Karma is active performance wear that easily crosses over into head-turning lifestyle apparel. Each piece is expertly designed, constructed and contoured to highlight the feminine shape and enhance what makes women beautiful

    Manufacturing jobs in the apparel industry have dwindled with the rise of overseas production. This is no more apparent than in our backyard of Vancouver. Karma is a Canadian apparel company that manufactures in Canada and the United States. We are committed to using local factories, investing in our community, and keeping local women employed.

    We hope to inspire other local companies, in more than just apparel, to rethink their own practices and bring production back home. It is our core belief that if we practice good karma, others will follow.
