Oiselle
By and For Women Athletes
At Oiselle, our vision is to help all women feel strong and free through the joy of running. Our mission is to design great product, build the sisterhood, and improve the sport. May we all experience the transformative power of sports and community.
HELLO AND WELCOME!
Oiselle is a Seattle-based by women, for women athletic apparel company that has always loved to go fast, take chances. We make running apparel for female athletes of all ages, paces, and places and bring together a community of women who love to move, run, and fly. Our mission is threefold: make great product, improve the sport, and build the sisterhood.
We believe in the transformative power of sport.
So much so, we wrote a Manifesto.
Oiselle's first year in the market was 2007. And while we started with an obsession for creating the first ever non-poofy, smooth waisted, well-constructed women's running shorts (hello Roga), the company's mission has become so much more. It has become all the things we love in sport: movement, connection, therapy, fresh air, vistas, self-awareness.
But perhaps most powerfully, it's been about celebrating a sense of freedom. And thus the name Oiselle (pronounced wa-zelle). A French word for bird, it alludes to that feeling of weightlessness that most athletes know and love. That sense of flight - when the legs go fast and the heart goes free.
what we love
Oiselle has built a solid community for female runners - Volée.
"The Volée is a global community of thousands of women with diverse backgrounds and different goals, connected by the common thread of running. Women join the Volée for many reasons: to be part of a run community, gain training inspiration, connect with a diverse group of powerful women, meet a local run buddy, support girls in sport, help elite athletes thrive in their athletic pursuits, expand their network, be part of a meaningful mission, engage in activism, and many other reasons."
