The Sparks Story
WE ARE SARABE & MOE!
Coming from the non-profit and social enterprise sector, we became friends immediately and bonded over our shared vision and love for coffee and engaging in crazy online shopping sprees. Our first venture was an education centre offering affordable and quality English classes for local youths in Myanmar.
During our free time, we would go to different workout classes to wind down. We were not workout people to start off with, but activewear was a big source of motivation for us. We wanted a brand where we could find versatile activewear, that is Asian-fitting and friendly for hot Asian weather. So, we spent months research looking for activewear that versatile and high quality. Our obsession led us to test over hundreds product types and we underwent vigorous fabric testing, looking for the best manufacturer partners. We also led the internal consumer team to rate the products, and getting athletes and fitness gurus alike to test the products.
We were inspired by the determination of fitness people and their self-care, and in turns we want to empower them to also to be a community that takes care of the planet too.
Thus our vision was born: activewear that gives back.
And frankly, we've been sweating our vision into existence ever since. It's been the most satisfying workout of our lives and we are not slowing down soon!
