Our legging:
AEM will take you out on a Sunday stroll, let you hang out on the couch on a rainy Saturday and make you work-out like never before. It can be used for sports activities, but also becomes part of your daily wardrobe, due to it’s comfortable fitting and it’s cool designs.
The Prints:
Our first prints are hand designed prints full of colour, which we are really proud of. Take a look at some of our options below.

Sustainability:
We work with a manufacturer in Portugal who takes social and environmental standards seriously. Our product is made of a high-quality, sustainable fabric, which is a GOTS certified textile made of recycled fishing nets and other waste that is found in the ocean. We aim to be as transparent as we can about our production process and materials, to create awareness among women about what they are wearing.
We turn waste into sexy and make it funky and fashionable!

Where are we at right now:
We finished our first legging sample and are very happy with the fitting. It's ready to be out there in the world and to be worn. We are currently making matching sportsbra's made from the same recycled textile.
In april 2019 we enrolled in a social responsible accelerator program in Amsterdam (BMC Impact Hub) to focus on our business model, marketing plan and financial planning.
What do we need the money for?
We need your pledge to get our production started to deliver you an amazing pair of sports leggings and start our world domination in sustainable sportswear!
The Pledges:
For this Indie gogo project we will sell our leggings for 75 euros instead of 90 euros to give our early adaptors a nice discount.
When we finish our crowdfunding project we will contact you to decide colour, print and size. You can choose from 3 prints, each available in 2 different colours. Regarding the sizes: We will have 2 sizes: S/M (34,36,38) and M/L (38,40,42).
We expect our first batch to be ready in November 2019. Our website and webshop to be ready in November 2019.
Risks and challenges:
We depend on the supplier for our fabric from Italy and the manufacturer from Portugal. The risk can be that these are not aligned and we don’t meet the deadline for our first delivery.
