About Loko Sport

Loko Sport is 100% designed and manufactured in Canada.  We value a positive work environment that treats workers with respect and provides employment to our neighbours. Our makers follow Canadian employment and environmental laws while providing quality construction.  There is no need to coat our clothes with formaldehyde since they are not being imported and are made right here at home.

Loko Sport is health-conscious. We use Bamboo which is biodegradable and require no pesticides. Bamboo is a naturally wickable and breathable fabric. Our Bamboo fabric is Oeko-Tex Certified Standard 100

We are also using eco-friendly technical fabrics. Chitosante is EPA certified and achieves it's anti-bacterial properties from the shells of crabs and shrimp! It is  also breathable, fast-drying, wickable, non-toxic, chemical free, pill resistant and odour resistant.

We are pleased that Natural Fibres are re-gaining popularity as they are better for our health. We love working with wool, cotton, hemp and linen!

A little background:

Sandra Maniago started Loko Sport in 2006 as a way of realizing a childhood dream of designing her own fashion collection.  After graduating from Ryerson University’s Fashion Design Program in 1990, Maniago worked as a Pattern Grader on Toronto’s Spadina Avenue and had the lovely experience of being a Seamstress in the costume department of The National Ballet.  

After working as a Design Room Assistant at a small activewear company, Maniago began her journey as an entrepreneur by producing cheerleading and competitive dance costumes for teams across Canada.  Forever a fan of fitness, yoga, gymnastics and dance,  Maniago felt compelled to share her own activewear designs with Canadian women by way of local boutique stores.

The company has grown and evolved over the years, and we are happy and honoured to have met and clothed so many wonderful women.
