Our Story

During the pandemic, which significantly limited our activities and often left exercise as the only option, my husband and I (the founder of Manzicca) initiated a bizarre competition, hunting for the quirkiest active gear to fuel our fitness motivation. Quickly, we discovered that these eccentric outfits were the key to staying inspired on our fitness journey.

Despite sourcing options globally, finding exercise gear that was both funky and functional proved challenging. Many options suffered from issues like subpar materials, unfriendly waistbands (cutting even to almost non-existent bellies), or overly friendly front seams wanting to get to know your delicate parts way too intimately, causing discomfort and even leading to 🐫toe. I bought gear from various sources I wasn't proud of - some garments even turned out to be counterfeits, on top of the horrible quality.

Finally, in early 2023, after years of struggling to find suitable gear, I embarked on producing sports gear aligning with all my preferences. On top of the vivid prints, the fabric is recycled and soft, with a planned cut prioritizing comfort during workouts and aiming to minimize the possibility of unsightly appearances. Our meticulously designed activewear seeks to curtail the likelihood of any wardrobe faux pas, ensuring an elegant and comfortable experience during your workouts, with a special emphasis on minimizing potential nuances like the infamous 🐫toe.

Sincerely,
