Activewear empire Lorna Jane is inspiring women globally to realise their potential through active living.
Created by women, for women, the founder Lorna Jane is a well-being icon, bringing her passion for life to empower women everywhere through the daily practice of ‘Move, Nourish, Believe’.
Making a global impact with a movement that is being embraced by millions of women worldwide, Lorna Jane is proud to remain as an independent and family-run company to this day.
With a mission to create the best Activewear on the planet, each sustainably produced item effortlessly blends fashion with function and is performance tested on real women.
Lorna Jane does this by spending hours mimicking how their audience moves their bodies to ensure each piece encourages the women that wear them to become fitter, faster and stronger versions of themselves.
Lorna Jane Clarkson who was born here in the UK, established the Australian designed brand in 1989 when she sewed her first one-off design at home after years spent trying to find things that didn’t exist in the marketplace.
An Aerobics instructor and frustrated with the workout fashion of the 1980s, it was then that she started to develop products that she loved to wear in her own active life. Creators of the term ‘Activewear’, Lorna and her team have been dedicated to challenging the perception of fashion; evolving her vision into an iconic and innovative new category she calls ‘Women’s Technical Fashion’.
With an ongoing goal to change customers’ attitudes toward shopping, at Lorna Jane they believe that sustainability is not a luxury, but the future.
Driven to ensure that their communities, the planet and the environment are just as healthy as the women that wear their activewear, they encourage their community to say no to fast fashion as a way of making a positive move forward toward sustainability.
They do this by transitioning out single-use plastics, developing recycled fabrics, souring reusable and sustainable materials, using soy-based inks, water-based varnish, chlorine-free pulps that have FSC and ISO credentials in environmental sustainability and Responsible Forestry Practices, and keeping unnecessary trucks off the roads to reduce emissions.
Responsibly produced, Lorna Jane is proud of the long-term partnership they have nurtured with their ethical Australian-owned and managed manufacturing group which is a WRAP (Worldwide Responsible Accredited Production) certified business. This ensures that they partner exclusively with a manufacturer that aligns with their core brand ethos.
Starting as a passion to deliver unique and inspiring designs to fellow gym lovers, today Lorna Jane is an international movement with over 140 stores globally and a connected community of over three million women embracing Lorna’s personal philosophy of Active Living.
