Livlola

Livlola was founded by two gorgeous, entrepreneurial sisters Sim Li and Heidi, as a brand for bags (which includes their famous Dakota gym bag). A pivot in the direction of activewear for yoga and pilates brought the brand to new heights, and they’ve become one of the top brands you’ll spot in studios today — just look out for the silver ‘LIVLOLA’ stamped on popular pieces like Flex leggings and Kita sports bras.

MKLZ Collection

One of our favourite online shops for sports bras and tops is MKLZ Collection, a brand popular among the yoga and pilates crowd in Malaysia. The Fuse collections are also a popular choice for leggings and the brand’s latest 2019 drop adds two new candy-like pastel colours; a pistachio green and light almond.
