BRAND PROFILE: TALA

TALA 101: EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW

Who is the CEO of TALA?

Curious about who is the owner of TALA sportswear? The brand was founded by Grace Beverley in 2019 -  and if that name rings a bell, there’s a reason. Grace is pretty much the blueprint for the modern entrepreneur. She kicked things off as a fitness content creator, and quickly built a huge social media following, then went on to launch not one, but three successful businesses, host a podcast and pen a best selling book - all before turning 30. Oh, and she also landed a spot on Forbes’ 30 Under 30.

What is TALA?

So athleisure has been around for a while, but TALA has stepped in with something different - a planet-friendly approach. Before TALA was born, founder Grace Beverley spotted a gap: sustainable options were available in rental wear everywhere except in activewear, and definitely not at a price that felt doable. So, TALA was born to fill that void.

Is TALA a UK brand?

London is home for TALA, with its main base and its design HQ in the capital, but the brand’s reach is global. And in May 2025, TALA hit a momentous milestone: opening its very first flagship store on the one-and-only Carnaby Street, a historic hot spot in the world of fashion.

TALA LEGGINGS - ARE THEY WORTH THE HYPE?

TALA leggings are at the core of the brand’s mission: flattering, sustainable activewear pieces that make you feel good - inside and out. Whether you're smashing a workout, stretching it out at pilates, or just taking a stroll, these leggings show up - compressive and supportive, sculpting yet soft. 

They come in a variety of waist styles and colours from classic black to vintage blue and coffee marl, and the soft, second-skin feel offers the perfect combination of stretch and compression.

TALA'S TAKE ON SUSTAINABLE ACTIVEWEAR

Is TALA an ethical brand?

TALA sees sustainability as a journey, not a quick fix. The brand knows the fashion industry has its flaws - and it’s honest about being part of that - but it’s also doing the work to be part of the solution.

From using recycled and responsibly sourced materials to designing pieces that last beyond trend cycles, TALA is all about making better choices. Bestsellers like SkinLuxe and DayFlex are made from pre- and post-consumer waste, while the 365 basics use wood pulp fibres from sustainably managed forests.

TALA knows recycled fabrics aren’t a perfect fix, but its commitment to better choices is clear - from thoughtful design details like front seams to reduce fabric waste, to making sustainability more accessible, one well-made piece at a time.
