Profile and products

Rhone primarily manufactures and sells activewear. The company uses fabrics like organic cotton, recycled polyester, merino wool, and modal in their products. Many of the company's offerings include antimicrobial and breathable fabrics. [1] [2] [3] Flatlock stitching, where the seams lie flat with edges of fabric butting together rather than folding together, is used to avoid chafing. [4]

Originally focused on men's activewear, Rhone began selling a permanent line of women's activewear in April 2024, [5] after having offered temporary women's collections in the past. [6]

The company sometimes stitches or adheres inspirational messages onto its products, such as "Don't Die Without a Few Scars" or "What We Do in Life Echoes in Eternity." [7]
