Vanderkitten, “Clothing for women who kick ass”TM, was created to answer the demand for a compelling and empowering active and casual brand for women that goes against the “just add flowers” and the “shrink it and pink it” recipies that are so dominant in contemporary women’s active lifestyle apparel. In order to answer this call, we knew we had to be more than just people sitting in a cube penning your future. We had to become fully immersed in the culture of sport and develop the look and excitement to reflect what we see around us every day. This enables us to create a fantastic brand by directly creating a new path for women to live extraordinary lives; not settling for the ordinary.
Bringing this concept to its current execution of ultra-premium cycling and athletic apparel has not been easy. Blood, sweat, tears and asphalt have been shed while perfecting the best garments on the market for avid and professional athletes alike. We've partnered with domestic athletic apparel manufacturer, JLRacing, and leverage their solar-powered, eco-social production philosophy sweatshop free in Santa Ana, CA.
