Vuori has become a top name in premium activewear — known for its soft fabrics, minimalist design, and ethical practices.
But one question keeps coming up among conscious shoppers: Where are Vuori clothes actually made?
This article breaks down Vuori’s global manufacturing strategy, sustainability efforts, and how it compares with other premium brands — plus insights from FuKi Yoga, a sustainable OEM manufacturer helping brands achieve ethical production standards.
Vuori clothes are designed in California, USA, and manufactured in ethical partner factories across Asia — mainly in Vietnam, China, and the Philippines.
These facilities are carefully selected for their technical expertise, ethical compliance, and sustainability certifications.
💬 As a manufacturing professional, I’ve seen brands like Vuori balance cost, quality, and transparency exceptionally well — setting a great example for the activewear industry.
Vuori’s production is distributed across several key manufacturing hubs known for technical sportswear production:
| Country | Role in Production | Key Strength |
|---|---|---|
| Vietnam | Main apparel manufacturing base | Advanced activewear technology, ethical standards |
| China | Fabrics & accessories | Sustainable fabric development and high consistency |
| Philippines | Specialized garments | Small-batch production and quality stitching |
While Vuori’s design and testing happen in Encinitas, California, the actual garment assembly takes place in Asia through trusted partner factories.
Some customers assume overseas production means lower quality — but in reality, Vuori’s choice of Asia-based partners comes from strategic and ethical considerations.
Here’s why:
💡 Vuori’s overseas production allows it to offer luxury-quality products without Lululemon-level pricing.
Vuori ensures quality through strict supplier audits, sustainability protocols, and in-person inspection visits.
Quality Control Includes:
Vuori’s ethical code of conduct ensures that all partner factories:
🧵 This level of transparency is what modern consumers demand — and Vuori delivers.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vuori | California, USA | Vietnam, China, Philippines | High | Moderate–High |
| Lululemon | Canada | Vietnam, Sri Lanka, China | High | High |
| Athleta (Gap Inc.) | USA | Indonesia, Sri Lanka, India | High | High |

Vuori also partners with suppliers who share their “Clean Energy + Fair Labor” vision, emphasizing long-term partnerships over cheap sourcing.
