FLAVE didn't start in a boardroom. It started on a factory floor, after two decades watching great sportswear brands fail because production was inaccessible.
The traditional sportswear supply chain is broken. Brands carry dead inventory. Clubs wait 16 weeks for kits. Designers have great ideas that never reach production because the minimum order is 500 units.
FLAVE connects any brand to a verified network of manufacturers who produce on demand, ship globally, and require zero minimum orders.
This isn't a marketplace. It's infrastructure — the production layer for sportswear.
FLAVE Inc is the second chapter of a story that started in 2002 with FLAVE Sportswear — a European sublimated sportswear manufacturer that pioneered no-minimum-order production for cycling clubs and triathlon brands.
After two decades running production for hundreds of brands across cycling, sailing, triathlon, and padel, one question became obvious: what if any brand could access this infrastructure?
“The brands that struggled weren't struggling because their products were bad. They were struggling because production was inaccessible. We decided to change that.”
Kevin Van Lancker, Founder — FLAVE Inc
