Our Story
Clothingluxury was founded with a simple mission: create performance sportswear that truly meets the needs of athletes at every level. We combine technical innovation with thoughtful design and sustainable practices.
Our Mission & Values
At Clothingluxury, we believe that the right sportswear can transform an athlete's performance. Our Portland roots inspire our approach to quality, sustainability, and community engagement.
Performance First
We design every product with performance as our guiding principle, using advanced materials and construction techniques that enhance athletic ability.
Sustainable Innovation
We're committed to reducing our environmental impact through innovative materials, responsible manufacturing, and minimizing waste throughout our supply chain.
Community Focus
As a Portland-based company, we actively engage with our local athletic community, supporting events and creating products that address the specific needs of our customers.
Research-Driven
We continuously test and refine our products through field testing, material research, and collaboration with sports scientists to push the boundaries of what sportswear can do.
What Makes Us Different
Our unique approach to sportswear design and manufacturing sets us apart from the competition.
Material Selection
Unlike conventional sportswear brands that prioritize cost over quality, we source premium technical fabrics known for their durability, comfort, and performance characteristics:
- Quick-drying fabrics that maintain their performance after hundreds of wash cycles
- Moisture-wicking technology with antimicrobial properties to prevent odor
- Four-way stretch materials that move naturally with the body
- Breathable yet insulating fabrics for temperature regulation in all conditions
Advanced Construction Techniques
Our production methods elevate the performance of every garment:
- Seamless construction in high-friction areas to prevent chafing
- Bonded seams that reduce bulk and enhance durability
- Reinforced stitching at stress points for extended product life
- Ergonomic design that works with the body's natural movement patterns
Specialized Fitting Expertise
Our in-store fitting process is tailored to different athletic activities:
- Running: We analyze gait and movement patterns to recommend the optimal fit
- Training: We consider range of motion needs for different workout styles
- Everyday wear: We balance comfort with performance for athleisure items
- Sport-specific considerations for cyclists, climbers, and other athletes
Product Testing Standards
Every Clothingluxury product undergoes rigorous testing before reaching our shelves:
- 100+ hours of real-world wear testing across diverse conditions
- Lab testing for colorfastness, abrasion resistance, and stretch recovery
- Wash testing to ensure performance characteristics remain after 50+ washes
- Field testing with athletes of different body types and performance needs
Our History
From a small Portland startup to a respected name in performance sportswear, our journey reflects our commitment to quality and innovation.
The Beginning
Founded by former athletes and textile engineers who were dissatisfied with available sportswear options. Our first Portland workshop opened with a focus on running apparel.
Expanding Our Range
Added training and gym-focused collections after extensive research with fitness professionals. Introduced our first sustainable fabric technologies.
Current Flagship Store
Opened our current location in downtown Portland with expanded fitting services, product testing areas, and community workout spaces.
Sustainability Commitment
Launched our sustainability initiative with the goal of using 90% recycled or sustainably sourced materials by 2028. Achieved carbon-neutral operations.
Today & Beyond
Continuing to innovate with new technical fabrics and designs while expanding our product range and community engagement initiatives.
Technical Expertise
Our deep understanding of athletic performance informs every design decision we make.
Fabric Technology
Our performance fabrics feature multi-directional stretch, moisture management systems, and temperature regulation properties. We test all materials for durability, comfort, and performance in various conditions.
Activity-Specific Design
Running apparel features reflective elements and strategic ventilation. Training gear incorporates abrasion-resistant panels and reinforced seams. Athleisure items blend performance with everyday comfort and style.
Size & Fit Philosophy
We develop our sizing based on 3D body scanning data from diverse athletes. Our fit models represent various body types to ensure our apparel works for everyone, with inclusive sizing from XS to 3XL.
Care Instructions
To maximize the life of your performance wear, we recommend washing in cold water with mild detergent, avoiding fabric softeners that can clog moisture-wicking properties, and air drying when possible.
Environmental Impact
We use recycled polyester made from post-consumer plastic bottles, organic cotton, and innovative sustainable materials like Tencel and recycled nylon. Our dyeing process uses 30% less water than industry standards.
Quality Assurance
Every product passes a 15-point quality inspection before reaching our store. We stand behind our craftsmanship with our "Perform or Return" guarantee, allowing customers to test products in real-world conditions.
