Melbourne Designed & Made: Protea Yoga Leggings
Made by hand in Melbourne,
from the ethically focussed yoga label Protea,
these striking leggings have quickly become our favourite
pants for walking, running & of course for yoga.
Patterns of stripes, florals & geometrics
in monochrome & bright colours
make for happy legs.
The designer behind the label is
Alissa Stytsenko-Berdnik,
who sews all the garments herself,
using locally sourced materials and unique printing.
We love the importance placed on sustainable fashion,
as her garments are designed to be worn & loved
for years on end - making for a healthier planet.
The quality of the garments & the perfect fit
is hard to describe - they really are beautiful to wear.
Alissa's designs emphasise high quality of fabric and stitching,
which transcends to garments that feel silky-soft,
flexible and incredibly durable.
“Sweat and odour resistant.
Sounds unbelievable,
but it’s actually true.
This next-generation polyester fibre
doesn’t absorb moisture
& thus doesn’t accumulate smells;
and knitted structure allows fabric to “breathe”
and evaporate sweat in no time.”
Protea leggings come in their own
sweet little matching carry bags.
“Your vision will become clear
only when you look into your heart.
”
Care instructions, size & a quote are printed onto the inside of the waistband - so no scratchy labels.
Each design also comes with a unique, inspiring quote printed onto the waistband - what a gorgeous touch!
We love supporting local artisans
who are passionate about what they do;
creating sustainable fashion
which is cruelty-free, high quality & made from future fabrics
with superior performance & durability.
Hopefully you love Alissa's creations as much us!
