ivivva by lululemon

who we are

Whether you are a brand new ivivva girl – or an ivivva girl from the very beginning! – you may not know the history on how ivivva came to exist.

Here is a snapshot of who we are:

…It all started about four years ago at lululemon.

WHY was ivivva created?

Girls were coming into lululemon stores and asking for smaller sizes. The stores started to see a trend with more and more girls wanting to wear the lululemon product, but were too small to benefit from the product features. So, the company took all of the requests for lululemon clothing for girls and created ivivva (ah-vee-vah)…and aren’t you glad they did?! :)

WHEN did ivivva open?

In November 2009, ivivva opened their doors for the first time on West 4th Avenue in Kitsilano, Vancouver. Since then, the ivivva brand has EXPLODED (in the good way) with 9 ivivva stores in Canada and 11+ ivivva showrooms + pop-up stores across the United States!

WHO does ivivva design for?

ivivva designs highly technical + super comfy gear for active girls who love to SWEAT and who are all about creating their best lives possible. 

You can find clothes for dancers, yogis, gymnasts, skaters – and every type of athlete out there!  Generally speaking, ivivva clothes fit girls ages 4 – 14.

WHAT does ivivva make?

Since ivivva is lululemon’s sister, it’s in our DNA to make technical, stylish, and comfortable gear for seriously active girls. Everything ivivva designs is made with input from ivivva girls – just like you!

To find out more, come into any of our stores and check out our awesome product, our in-store dance + yoga classes, and meet our rad educators who can answer any questions you may have! :)

  51. I frequent the IVIVVA “pop up” shop In Saskatoon weekly, yes weekly ! Looking to buy something new or sale items. Pleas don’t take our only store away after xmas. I prefer to try on items on my daughter in person and will only purchase accessories online.
    I don’t know any other 5 year old that has 30 + Ivivva clothing items ! Can we say ADDICTED :)
    It would be a great disservice to not have a permanent store here. PLease :)

  69. That is totally awesome! I remember being frustrated that the only things at lululemon that actually fit me were the hairbands (haha). Now the defines and scuba hoodies do too, but ivivva is just so much easier and comfier.
