A new fabric. A softer way to move. Launching : 09 September.
Activewear doesn’t always need to work hard.
There are days for heavy lifts, high-intensity sessions and serious support. Then there are the days that move at a different pace - pilates before work, a studio class, a long walk, travelling across the city or simply getting on with everything else the day brings.
For those days, we wanted something different.
Meet Essence.
Launching Wednesday, 09 September as part of THRIVIN’s FLOW collection, Essence introduces a softer approach to activewear: lightweight, flexible and designed to feel almost like a second skin.
A softer side of movement
The idea behind Essence is simple: activewear should feel as good at the end of the day as it does at the beginning.
The fabric has a soft-touch feel with four-way stretch, allowing it to move easily with the body rather than restricting it. Its low-compression construction offers a lighter feel than our more performance-focused fabrics, while keeping the clean, considered finish THRIVIN is known for.
It’s made for movement, but not only movement.
Wear it to class. Keep it on afterwards. Take it travelling. Build the rest of your day around it.
Soft against the skin. Easy through movement. Designed to stay on.
The fabric behind Essence
Every Thrivin collection starts with a different movement need.
FLOW was created for moments where flexibility, comfort and ease take priority. That meant choosing a fabric that could keep up with everyday movement without bringing the weight or feel of high-compression activewear.
Essence combines 82% viscose from bamboo with 18% elastane, giving the fabric its soft hand-feel, breathability and natural stretch.
The result is deliberately uncomplicated: a fabric that feels light on the body, moves with you and works well beyond the workout.
Because sometimes the best activewear is the piece you forget you’re wearing.
For Every Part of Your Day
Essence was created for movement at a more relaxed pace.
Think Pilates, studio sessions, walks, low-intensity training and travel. But don’t stop there.
The silhouettes are designed to fit naturally into the rest of your wardrobe and your day — whether that means heading for coffee after class, running errands or staying comfortable on the move.
No need to change when the workout ends.
One outfit. More of your day.
