The idea of ​​LE Movement was born in 2016. My old BJJ gym ordered custom rashguards from a very well known Jiu-Jitsu brand. Unfortunately, my initial euphoria disappeared as soon as the goods arrived. It was downright disappointing. Our club logo was purple instead of red, the elbow graphic wasn't on the elbow, the fabric was way too stiff and the stitching felt like sandpaper. I hated every second of wearing this rash guard. But I didn't want to disappoint my coach either, so I continued to wear it to training. I slowly realized that it's not the well-known names that make good products. It´s about people with passion, dedication and a good feeling for the the customers needs.

3 years later my girlfriend taught me Photoshop and Illustrator (she´s an artist herself, please check out her website) and I started to draw. I made some sketches and created first rough drafts. Finding a textile printer and tailor who met my high standards was not that easy. I've spent hundreds of hours testing different factories and have always been disappointed with their quality. I finally found the perfect print shop in the comments section of an Instagram post by John Danaher - haha, what a coincidence.
