Athleta develops and retails premium performance apparel specifically engineered for active women and girls. The company creates versatile clothing integrating advanced technical features like moisture-wicking and breathable fabrics, designed to support diverse activities from yoga and running to swimming and hiking. This ensures garments perform optimally while providing comfort and functionality.
Founded in 1998, Athleta emerged from the insight that existing athletic wear often forced women to adapt menswear. The company aimed to design apparel differently, challenging the status quo by offering dedicated performance wear that was both high-performing and aesthetically pleasing for its female clientele. This principle shaped its brand identity.
Athleta serves active women and girls seeking high-quality, thoughtfully designed athletic clothing. The company's vision is to empower its community to build strength, confidence, and well-being through movement. By delivering innovative products with beautiful designs, Athleta fuels women's momentum, supporting every aspect of their active journeys.
