By leading with fabric, we let the unique characteristics of each textile shape what we create. It’s a process that keeps us curious, focused on quality, and committed to building products that support both performance and comfort. #### _"Everything we make is about feeling. We want our clothes to feel great, but we also want those clothes to make you feel great in all the ways you live your life.

That simplicity all revolves around incredible athletic and loungewear fabrics." **\-Joe Kudla, Vuori Founder & CEO** ![measuring fabrics](https://cdn.bfldr.com/JUZN72U0/at/6vkf8tmzxzbwktvb3bcgb/05_DP_LP_Right-Desktop.png?auto=webp&width=100&height=100&crop=center) ## "With a fabric first product design philosophy, we let our fabrics inform the active and lounge clothing that we make. We’re always trying to bring fabric to life in its truest expression.” **—Sarah Carlson, SVP Design** ## Vuori Preferred Fibers \*Vuori’s fiber selection process is guided by the Textile Exchange’s Fiber and Materials Matrix and informed by emissions data from Worldly’s Higg Materials Sustainability Index (Higg MSI), which provides lifecycle-based environmental impact data for materials used in the apparel industry. Vuori defines preferred fibers as those that have reduced greenhouse gas emissions per kilogram of material compared to their conventional equivalent. This standard also encompasses practices that seek to support the environment, support regenerative agriculture, and align with leading industry certification standards. To help ensure certified materials are properly sourced and mapped through our supply chain, Vuori is certified by IDFL to the following Textile Exchange standards (TE-00125251): [Organic Content Standard (OCS)](https://textileexchange.org/organic-content-standard/), [Global Recycled Standard (GRS), Recycled Claim Standard (RCS)](https://textileexchange.org/recycled-claim-global-recycled-standard/), [Responsible Wool Standard (RWS)](https://textileexchange.org/responsible-wool-standard/), and [Responsible Down Standard (RDS).](https://textileexchange.org/responsible-down-standard/) ![textile exchange icons](https://cdn.bfldr.com/JUZN72U0/at/cjk7r5nzhf4fct8hsh6s6fsg/2025_DP_Vol_2_Footer_with_Icons_Desktop.jpg?auto=webp&width=100&height=15&crop=center) ![textile exchange icons](https://cdn.bfldr.com/JUZN72U0/at/2zgnfvmskts9jjx7hpb85j3/2025_DP_Vol_2_Footer_with_Icons_Mobile_1.jpg?auto=webp&width=100&height=82&crop=center) ![swatches of fabric](https://cdn.bfldr.com/JUZN72U0/at/gsw93b6cggvk8m845kxc/06_DP_LP_footer_desktop.jpg?auto=webp&width=100&height=56&crop=center) ## A New Perspective On Performance Apparel™ ### We’re committed to making products that stand the test of time and remain invested in the happiness of our community, the natural environment, and most importantly, each other. ![swatches of fabric](https://cdn.bfldr.com/JUZN72U0/at/5fqpbfhp9r298pj74s2r4ws6/05_DP_footer_Mobile.jpg?auto=webp&width=100&height=81&crop=center) A New Perspective On Performance Apparel™ ### We’re committed to making products that stand the test of time and remain invested in the happiness of our community, the natural environment, and most importantly, each other.
