What to know about P.E Nation
Retro sportswear graphics, not quiet gym kit
The design language is 1980s and 1990s sport: colour-blocking, oversized logo graphics, racing stripes and cropped cuts across leggings, bras, bike shorts and track jackets.
Recycled synthetics across most of the range
Recycled polyester and nylon are used through much of the collection, which is part of what supports the mid-to-high price against cheaper activewear.
Australian label with mass-market reach
Founded in Sydney in 2016 by Pip Edwards and Claire Tregoning, it sells direct online plus Australian department stores and international wholesale, and did a 2019 H&M collection.
