Girlfriend Collective is a direct-to-consumer activewear brand that focuses on sustainability, inclusivity, and ethical manufacturing. Founded by Ellie and Quang Dinh, Girlfriend Collective creates high-quality activewear from recycled materials, such as water bottles and fishing nets. The brand’s mission is to provide stylish and functional activewear that is kind to the planet and accessible to all body types, promoting a more conscious and inclusive approach to fashion.
One of Girlfriend Collective’s standout products is the Compressive High-Rise Legging, made from recycled water bottles. These leggings offer a high-rise fit and compressive fabric that provides excellent support and shape retention. Available in a wide range of sizes and colors, they are perfect for workouts, yoga, or everyday wear. The sustainable material is soft, durable, and moisture-wicking, ensuring comfort and performance.
Another popular item is the Paloma Bra, a versatile sports bra designed for medium-impact activities. Made from the same recycled fabric as the leggings, the Paloma Bra features a longline fit, racerback design, and built-in support band. It’s available in multiple colors and sizes, making it a favorite among customers for both its style and functionality.
Girlfriend Collective also offers the Float Seamless High-Rise Legging, which is made from recycled fishing nets. These leggings are ultra-lightweight and breathable, providing a second-skin feel that is perfect for high-intensity workouts or hot yoga. The seamless design ensures a smooth, comfortable fit, while the sustainable material supports the brand’s commitment to environmental responsibility.
A fun fact about Girlfriend Collective is that the brand’s first product launch involved giving away free leggings to anyone who paid for shipping. This unique marketing strategy helped the brand gain a significant following and raise awareness about their commitment to sustainability. The overwhelming response to this campaign demonstrated the demand for eco-friendly activewear and set the stage for Girlfriend Collective’s success in the sustainable fashion industry.
