About us
TALA is an activewear brand built to actively solve problems without creating new ones for people, the planet, or anyone else. Every collection prioritises functionality and thoughtful design, combining premium fabrics with multi-way versatility and flattering fits that deliver maximum impact with minimal effort. Each piece is crafted with attention to detail, ensuring women can look and feel their best with ease.
When founder Grace Beverley shifted from fast fashion to more sustainable options in her everyday clothing, she found a host of responsibly made options in every category other than activewear.
