Where Are Vuori Clothes Made?

Vuori has become one of the fastest-growing activewear brands in the U.S. and Europe, famous for its ultra-soft DreamKnit™ fabrics and relaxed California aesthetic.
Because so many yoga and athleisure founders ask me supply-chain questions, one comes up repeatedly:

“Where are Vuori clothes actually made?”

Here’s a simple, clear answer — based on industry experience and common manufacturing practices in premium activewear.

Quick Answer

Vuori clothes are primarily made in high-quality factories in China and Vietnam, with additional sourcing from other parts of Asia.
Like most premium athleisure brands, Vuori designs in California but relies on advanced Asian manufacturing to achieve its soft fabrics and consistent quality.

From my experience working with similar suppliers, Vuori’s supply chain is normal for premium activewear — and crucial for delivering its signature comfort.

1. Where Vuori Clothes Are Mainly Manufactured

Vuori does not manufacture in the U.S. Instead, it partners with advanced production regions known for premium athleisure:

Primary Manufacturing Countries

  • China – DreamKnit™, brushed fabrics, technical leggings
  • Vietnam – lightweight shorts, tops, woven performance wear
  • Other Asian partners (smaller volume)

Why these regions?

Because they offer:

  • leading knitting and brushing technology
  • consistent quality
  • highly skilled sewing specialists
  • cost efficiency
  • faster scaling for large orders

Vuori’s softness and durability require specialized machinery, which Asian factories excel in.


2. Why Vuori Produces Outside the United States

Many people assume “Made in USA” equals premium, but activewear is a different world.

From my factory experience, Vuori manufactures overseas because:

1. Technical fabric capability

DreamKnit™-style fabrics require brushing, sueding, and knitting tech mainly available in Asia.

2. Cost & scalability

U.S. production struggles with:

  • high labor costs
  • minimal activewear machinery
  • long lead times

3. High consistency requirements

Vuori’s appeal is ultra-soft, repeatable quality — something top Asian factories are optimized for.

4. Access to activewear supply-chain clusters

The fabric mills, dye houses, and sewing floors are all located close together.
