About MICHI:

Established in 2010, MICHI has been at the forefront of luxury activewear. Founded by Michelle Watson from her NYC apartment, with a purpose to elevate women by enhancing performance and igniting self-expression. Our vision is to make the world’s most versatile apparel for women by creating harmony between style from function. Our products are crafted with care using certified and sustainable materials in ethical factories, ensuring that each piece stands the test of time.

VERSATILITY

We believe people should own fewer, better things that last and perform double duty. Our products don’t look, feel or perform like ordinary activewear. Our products are developed for both your sweetest and sweatiest workouts so you can jump, bend, sway and sweat without worry.

We believe that design is about how something works. Look and feel are just as important as functionality. We fuse functionality, elevated aesthetic and comfort to create versatile products that look and feel appropriate for even the most unexpected occasion.

FLATTERING 3-D FIT

Our beauty standard is a three-dimensional woman’s body complete with curves, muscle and battle scars. We design in 3-D considering every angle — front, back, side — not to mention what happens when you’re upside down.

We celebrate women’s bodies by designing for movement, comfort and to flatter all shapes and sizes. Our intentional design lines and meticulous construction accentuate curves, create long and lean lines, hide flaws and solve the problems that emerge during movement. 

DURABILITY

Our customers rave that our technical products wash and wear better than any other activewear they own. Our products stand the test of time.

We want women to feel confident about their investment in our products so we take pride in our exceptional materials and craftsmanship. Made in Canada manufacturing, certified technical fabrics, luxurious yet durable fabrics, intense wear tests, lasting construction techniques, high quality details, products that take a beating and still last for years — these are some of the things we are known for.   

We cater to your dynamic life experiences, even the ones you never thought appropriate in activewear. Our products are created for day to night comfort, the feeling of being put together, and the confidence to be ready for any spontaneous experience.


Join our journey to revolutionize the activewear industry and make a meaningful impact on women’s lives.
