Introducing Essence - THRIVIN's second-skin fabric, reimagined from nature. Launches Wednesday, 09 September.
Not every day calls for compression.
Not every movement needs maximum support. And not every piece of activewear needs to be designed around the squat rack.
Some days are Pilates. Some are studio sessions, long walks, coffee after class, errands, travel - the quieter parts of an active life where comfort matters just as much as performance.
That's where Essence comes in.
Launching Wednesday, 09 September as part of THRIVIN's FLOW collection, Essence is our new fabric platform built around one simple idea:
Activewear you don't feel the need to take off.
The everyday job
Essence isn't designed to hold you in as tightly as possible.
Its job is different.
It's designed to feel soft against the skin, move naturally with the body and stay comfortable long after your workout is over.
The fabric has a soft-touch hand-feel, four-way stretch and a naturally derived base, creating a second-skin feel without the heavy compression associated with performance-first activewear.
It's the kind of fabric designed for longer wear - from your first movement of the day to everything that happens afterwards.
Think:
Softness. Breathability. Stretch. Ease.
Without compromising on the polished silhouettes THRIVIN is known for.
Why this fabric direction?
Material choice should start with purpose.
For FLOW, that purpose is different from our more performance-driven collections. We wanted a fabric that could move through low-intensity training, studio sessions and everyday wear with the same ease.
Essence uses 82% viscose from bamboo and 18% elastane - a blend selected for its soft hand-feel, breathability and stretch.
Not because "natural" automatically makes something better.
Not as a sustainability halo.
Simply because it creates the fabric experience we wanted for FLOW: soft, breathable and easy against the skin.
The result is a second-skin fabric that feels considered for the slower side of movement - without feeling like you're wearing something made exclusively for exercise.
Where Essence lives
Essence is designed for the spaces between high-intensity sessions.
Pilates. Studio classes. Walking. Low-intensity training. Travel. Everyday movement.
And everything around them.
It's the collection you reach for when you want your activewear to work beyond the workout - when the mat becomes a coffee run, the studio becomes an afternoon out, or a walk turns into the rest of your day.
Studio to street, without the outfit change.
The Essence difference
- Soft-touch feel - Designed to feel gentle against the skin.
- Four-way stretch - Moves with the body rather than working against it.
- Low compression - Support without the squeeze.
- Naturally derived fabric base - 82% viscose from bamboo, blended with 18% elastane.
- Second-skin feel - Made for movement and for everything after it.
