FROM OUR FOUNDER

Meira Active was born in February 2020 while I was living in New York City. In between fashion industry jobs I thought I’d keep working on finding my next role and have more time for fitness classes, but instead my attention was pulled towards something else - how annoying wearing underwear with leggings truly was! When I struggled to find a great solution to unwanted visible panty lines and shifting, digging underwear that failed to keep me comfortable throughout the day I decided to create an all-encompassing high quality product for myself and all other women seeking the same things.

Combining a knowledge of garment construction with the desire to create ethically made luxury products, I took my designs to factories in the NYC Garment District to create the first pair of Smooth Duo® Leggings with Built-in Underwear also known as panty line free leggings with comfortable active underwear sewn into every pair. This is how Meira Active came to be. All of our high quality luxury activewear is ethically produced in the USA in NYC factories. We design every garment to help women feel powerful, seen, supported and to shine by the light of their own brilliance with more ease! Thank you for helping our mission with your purchase and please know it warms our hearts to have you in Meira Active’s Family xx
