ABOUT lai

We're redefining what you should expect from activewear.

"Looks Good" Isn't good enough.

The idea for Lai began when Founder and naturopath Ashleigh discovered that many of the activewear brands she wore every day weren't aligned with the wellness values she lived by.

Movement is medicine. So surely the clothes we exercise and live in should be held to a higher standard, too.

Yet most people have little visibility into the materials, finishes, and chemicals used in the clothing they wear closest to their skin. At Lai, we believe you deserve better—better transparency, better materials, and better choices.

That's why we set out to create activewear that looks and feels like the pieces we already know and love, while prioritising bio-based materials and OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100 certified fabric, tested for harmful substances.

Because real wellbeing isn't about perfection—it's about making more informed choices, one step at a time.

We use Hyosung regen BIO spandex in our apparel fabric. This stretch fibre is made partly with renewable plant-derived inputs, including industrial dent corn.

It provides the stretch and recovery that help LAI pieces hug, support and move with your body.
