FIKA × DOSSIER: Precision Fabric Sourcing for a Technical Running Brand

FIKA wasn't building a standard activewear range — it was building a technical running brand where fabric choice couldn't be a compromise. Running vests, pouches, and race-day singlets each demanded their own specific fabric makeup: lightweight without sacrificing durability, tolerances fine enough to matter to a marathon runner carrying every gram over 42+ kilometres, and manufacturing methods that could actually deliver on that spec at a premium standard.

 

FIKA needed a partner willing to go beyond the standard supplier catalogue — sourcing fabrics on buying trips specifically to find the technical features each product required, not settling for what was already on hand. A diverse range of hyper-specific use cases meant no single fabric could do the job twice.
