With a bridesmaid dress to fit into in two short months I’m on a new-found fitness kick and we all know the best way to motivate oneself is with new kit. I’ve just come across new brand Sundried, a premium ethical activewear brand with a heritage in triathlon and outdoor pursuits.
With a team of designers who have worked for some of the world’s best activewear brands, the Sundried collection is hand made in Portugal with premium fabrics and materials that are responsibly sourced; you can feel the quality in the fabric as soon as you put it on.
Not only are the pieces beautiful quality and superb fit, but each piece of Sundried apparel comes with a unique code to enable you to find out all about the product and its journey. I’ve tried the Ruinette Tight (£75), inspired by the peak of Mount Ruinette and designed to be a cut above the rest, with a streamlined fit to create a smooth, aerodynamic silhouette and 4 way stretch fabric for complete freedom of movement. Featuring an elasticated and drawstring waist for a completely personalised fit with flatlock seams for added comfort, plus the added safety of reflective strip lining to the thighs to enhance visibility and a secure back pocket for valuables. The ultimate running trousers, should I ever feel the need to take up running.
The Grivola Tee (£50) on the other hand is definitely one for both in and outside of the gym. Crafted with a blend of the finest fabrics to provide the softness and comfort of cotton, with the quick drying and lightweight feel of polyester, it’s a much more flattering fit than the usual fitness brands.
As if that wasn’t enough, they also donate a portion of profits to Water For Kids, a charity dedicated to providing safe drinking water for communities in Africa. Makes you feel all warm inside doesn’t it?
