When people talk about premium activewear manufacturing, Lululemon is always at the center of the conversation.
As someone who has worked with multiple performance-wear OEMs, I often get asked:
“Where does Lululemon actually manufacture its garments, and who produces them?”
This article breaks down Lululemon’s global sourcing strategy, key manufacturing partners, and what emerging brands can learn from their supply chain standards.
Lululemon garments are primarily made in Asia — especially in Vietnam, Cambodia, Sri Lanka, China, Taiwan, and Bangladesh — by long-term OEM partners specializing in high-gauge knits, technical leggings, and premium finishing.
💬 From my OEM experience:
Lululemon doesn’t pick factories by price — they pick by fabric capability, stability, and compliance performance.
Lululemon works with a diversified set of production countries to reduce risk and ensure technical performance.
| Country | What They Produce | Strength |
|---|---|---|
| Vietnam | Leggings, bras, tops | High-tech factories, strong compliance |
| Cambodia | Leggings, crops | Skilled sewing workforce |
| Sri Lanka | Sports bras, seamless | Advanced machinery |
| China | Outerwear, seamless, accessories | High precision + R&D |
| Taiwan | Technical fabrics | Yarn & knit innovation |
| Bangladesh | Basics & knits | Large-scale capacity |
💬 Lululemon chooses each region for its technical specialty, not cost alone.
Lululemon works with well-established, long-term OEM/ODM manufacturers, including:
