Vuori has become one of the fastest-growing activewear brands in the U.S., known for its soft fabrics and California-inspired lifestyle.
But many shoppers ask: Where are Vuori clothes actually made?
In this article, I’ll share an honest look at Vuori’s manufacturing process, where production takes place, and how it compares with other ethical activewear makers — including FuKi Yoga.
✅ Vuori clothes are manufactured in ethical partner factories across Vietnam, China, and the Philippines.
The brand maintains strict quality and labor standards, ensuring safe working environments and fair wages.
While Vuori is designed in California, its production happens overseas — a common approach for premium performance wear brands seeking technical expertise and scalable production.
Vuori’s main production hubs are located in:
Each location contributes to different product categories, chosen for technical specialization, cost efficiency, and sustainability certifications.
💬 From my own experience with OEM manufacturing, Vietnam currently leads the market in balancing technical quality with responsible labor practices.
Vuori’s decision to produce overseas isn’t about cheap labor — it’s about access to advanced textile technology and flexibility.
Modern overseas factories offer:
While U.S.-based production is limited in activewear, brands like Vuori maintain U.S.-based design, R&D, and quality oversight to ensure standards remain high.
Vuori’s overseas factories comply with third-party ethical standards, such as:
| Area | Vuori’s Approach | Ethical Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Labor Conditions | Monitored through audits | No forced or child labor |
| Wages & Safety | Above local minimum | Factory certification required |
| Sustainability | Increasing recycled materials | Focus on long-term supplier partnerships |
| Transparency | Moderate | Public reporting limited but improving |
💡 In short — Vuori is not 100% transparent like Patagonia, but it’s far more responsible than fast-fashion competitors.
| Brand | Primary Manufacturing Countries | Focus | Sustainability Level |
|---|---|---|---|
| Vuori | Vietnam, China, Philippines | Soft lifestyle activewear | Moderate to High |
| Lululemon | Vietnam, Sri Lanka, China | Technical yoga & fitness | High |
| Gymshark | China, Bangladesh, Turkey | Performance & youth appeal | Medium |
| FuKi Yoga | China, Vietnam | Custom OEM/OEM production | High (eco-certified fabrics) |
🧩 Vuori’s supply chain sits between performance and sustainability — not 100% local, but responsibly global.
Vuori publishes limited supplier data but emphasizes its “ethical partnerships” in press materials and interviews.
Transparency is improving through:
However, consumers seeking fully traceable supply chains may still find FuKi Yoga’s OEM approach more transparent, especially for small brands wanting full production visibility.
From a B2B manufacturing perspective, Vuori’s strategy offers three takeaways:
