The labels for the PANGAIA Gym collection are prominently printed on the activewear designs and they spell out the fact that the designs are made with bio-engineered materials and fabrics, such as bio-based nylon and seaweed fiber. The gym-ready loungewear line includes pieces like hoodies, crop tops, sweatpants, t-shirts and bike shorts.
For this new collection, PANGAIA incorporated new materials and treatments, namely PPRMNT, a bio-based and durable odor control finish and antimicrobial treatment made from the peppermint plant, and a stretch yarn called Roica V550 that can be degraded by microorganisms over five years.
The new collection is accompanied by an 80s-inspired Let’s Get Physical campaign, which works well to highlight the collection's bold one-piece workout suits and their eye-catching assortment of colors.
