Fabletics has grown into one of the largest subscription-based activewear brands in the world — but many customers still wonder:
“Where is Fabletics actually manufactured, and how consistent is the quality?”
As someone who works closely with global activewear factories and understands how brands source at scale, here’s a clear and beginner-friendly explanation of Fabletics’ production system, quality control practices, and what new brands can learn from their model.
Fabletics manufactures most of its activewear in China, Vietnam, the Philippines, Sri Lanka, and Indonesia, with some items also produced in Guatemala and Mexico.
These regions allow the brand to deliver large-scale quantities, lower retail prices, and consistent monthly drops for its subscription system.
