For those who share our love of the sea. Proudly #BCorp It started in 2003 in a flat above a surf shop with an innovative fleece that was designed to keep out chill winds and warm up cold bodies. Since these early days, driven by those who have jumped on board, supported by our customers and suppliers, the brand and product has widened beyond these original beginnings. Yet from our cliff top workshop in St. Agnes, we stay true to our original design ethos of functionality and sustainability brought to life in an understated style and identity, always remaining committed to product, environment and people. The name of one of the most rugged headlands that bravely bears the full brunt of the North Atlantic gales, and a former shipping forecast area, Finisterre literally means end of the earth or land’s end. The place where land ends has intrigued man for centuries, fostering both a real and a romantic relationship with the sea; a relationship that runs deep in our narrative. Since day one we have taken a pioneering approach to making better and more sustainable product, challenging and innovating, seeking alternatives to what has gone before. We’re committed to making informed decisions about our impact on the environment and are constantly trying to push boundaries to make the best product we can. In our eyes this is gear that will be with you the longest; and the longer you have it, the more attached to it you become. For all media requests regarding the Finisterre brand, products and environmental efforts, please contact: press@finisterre.com

We’re Sweaty Betty, a global activewear and lifestyle brand for women. We’re also a community that believes fitness is a flip-the-switch trigger for becoming the woman you want to be. Leggings and sports bras won’t change the world on their own. But with a grab-my-hand, let’s-go-for-it-now spirit, the women who wear them can.  Since our founder Tamara got us moving in 1998, we’ve stood and run for both performance and style. Just take our Power Leggings – with technical fabric that sculpts and shaves time off your PB. Every 60 seconds, a woman buys herself a pair. That’s exactly the kind of HIIT interval we like.  Our on-the-go community treats every day like it’s made for moving, and we’re always pushing to do better too. Like crafting clothes from responsibly sourced materials and recycled bottles; caring for both your body and the planet.
