When I first learned about Alo Yoga — one of the most popular activewear brands on Instagram — I was curious about where their products were actually made.
As someone who works in the yoga apparel manufacturing industry, I get this question from clients all the time:
“Is Alo Yoga really made in the USA?”
The answer is both yes and no — and it depends on what product you’re talking about. Let’s break it down clearly.
Alo Yoga is designed and headquartered in Los Angeles, California,
but its production is split between the U.S. and overseas manufacturing partners, including facilities in Vietnam and China.
Alo Yoga maintains U.S.-based design and development but works with global partners for large-scale apparel manufacturing.
Alo Yoga’s headquarters and creative operations are based in Los Angeles,
where product design, fit testing, and marketing are handled.
However, the bulk of manufacturing — especially technical leggings and sports bras — is done in Asia, where factories specialize in:
| Location | Role in Production | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Los Angeles (USA) | Design, marketing, sample development | High transparency |
| Vietnam | Main apparel production | Certified ethical factories |
| China | Technical fabric knitting and dyeing | Supports volume scaling |
| Indonesia | Accessories and limited garment lines | Small batch output |
This mixed supply chain helps Alo balance premium quality with global production efficiency.
You’ll often see Alo Yoga refer to being “LA-based” or “Made in LA” in their branding.
This primarily means the brand’s concept, design, and creative direction are American — not that every product is produced locally.
“Made in LA” reflects brand identity, not a 100% domestic production claim.
Having worked directly with factories that handle both U.S. and EU activewear orders,
I can tell you there are clear reasons why Alo Yoga — and many others — produce overseas:
Specialized Equipment
Asian factories have advanced seamless knitting and bonding technology.
Fabric Innovation
Countries like China and Taiwan produce cutting-edge performance fabrics (nylon/spandex blends).
Scalability & Cost Balance
High-volume production keeps retail prices competitive without compromising quality.
Certified Sustainability
Many Asian factories (like ours at FuKi Yoga) are OEKO-TEX® and GRS certified, ensuring eco-friendly production.
| Brand | Headquarters | Manufacturing Origin | Sustainability Level |
|---|---|---|---|
| Alo Yoga | USA (Los Angeles) | USA, Vietnam, China | High |
| Lululemon | Canada | Cambodia, Vietnam, China | Medium–High |
| Girlfriend Collective | USA | Vietnam | High |
| Born Living Yoga | Spain | Spain, Portugal | High |
| FuKi Yoga (OEM) | China | 100% custom | High (eco-certified) |
As you can see, Alo Yoga’s global production model aligns with other leading brands — balancing ethics, scalability, and design control.
In my opinion — yes, but for the right reasons.
It’s not just about the country name on the label.
It’s about how the clothes are made:
Alo Yoga performs well in all three categories, and so do other certified OEM partners like FuKi Yoga who follow similar production standards.
The real value lies in transparency and responsibility — not just location.
