Hi, I'm Ash! I have lovingly crafted KIMBA for eco-conscious women who live a healthy and active lifestyle.
I'm a personal trainer and activewear lover, so I know exactly what it's like to be constantly on the look out for a new, stylish and comfortable piece of activewear to add to your collection!
I have always been environmentally conscious but I was blissfully unaware of the impact fast fashion has on the environment. I spent a lot of time during COVID researching ways to live more sustainably when it comes to fashion. I decided I wanted to help change the impact that fashion has on our planet by developing functional, fashionable and sustainable activewear!
Sustainability isn't about being perfect, but it is about being conscious of what contributes to the environmental issues our planet faces and making small changes to your daily life to help reduce that impact!
I have put a lot of love and care into developing my brand and I hope you love KIMBA as much as I do! xx

Aside from our fabric, all of our prints and dyes are using eco-ink. Even our postage packaging is eco friendly! We use compostable HEROPACKS - they look and feel like plastic, but they're not. Not even close! They are a 100% home-compostable shipping mailer made from 70-80% PBAT (a co-polymer that is completely compostable) and 20-30% PLA (which is a fancy way of saying cornstarch). These will break-down within 120 days. NOTE: Please removed postage labels before throwing packaging into your green waste.
