The amount of waste we as human produce bothered Leigh but also inspired her to do something about it.
While concerned about the environment, the avid yogi also realised that there was a gap in the market for sustainable active women’s wear.
“I was actually struggling to find cool fun yoga wear and the stuff that I did find wasn’t great,” she explains, “we heard about countries in America that were making activewear out of recycled fabric and we knew there was a gap in the market for that product.”
From that, SpiritGirl Activewear came to life.
“I wanted to create a brand that was sustainable and motivated women but also made people aware of ocean conservation,” she explains.
