ABOUT CROWNED ATHLETICS™
Welcome to Crowned Athletics™, where movement meets imagination. I’m Kirsten - the owner, designer, and heart of Crowned Athletics™. I’ve always believed that fitness should feel joyful, creative, and just a little bit extra - from suiting up for a themed race, lifting heavy in a bold matching set, or spending the day at a theme park in full color.
BELIEVE IN FANTASY AND BELIEVE IN FITNESS!
Our Brand
At Crowned Athletics™ we create colorful, high-performance activewear inspired by pop culture, nostalgic icons, and the strength that lives within each of us. Whether you’re powering through a workout, racing through city streets, dancing on stage, or soaking in the fantasy of your favorite theme park, Crowned is made to move with you - celebrating your story, your strength, and your style!
Designed in Southern California, we proudly partner with women-led teams whenever possible and support organizations like the ACLU and American Red Cross through ongoing monthly donations.

Our Journey
Crowned Athletics™ began in 2017, setting out to reimagine activewear through the lens of fantasy, performance, and personal empowerment. It all started with a handmade prototype and a dream. In 2018, after over a year of meticulous sampling and development, we launched our first two tank tops: Mermaid Princess and After Midnight Princess. The response was electric, and the momentum hasn’t stopped since! From sports bras to skorts, leggings to jackets, we’ve grown from a passion project into a full lifestyle brand - and we’re still reaching for the stars.

Our Operations
Behind every piece of Crowned apparel is a thoughtful process designed to uphold our standards of quality and care. Since 2019, we’ve partnered with a dedicated manufacturing team in China with deep expertise in premium activewear and a strong commitment to international quality and labor practices. Every garment is produced with precision and attention to detail—so you can move with confidence, knowing your Crowned pieces are built to perform and made to last.
In 2023, we transitioned our fulfillment operations to a dedicated facility in Southern California that partners with leading high-end apparel brands. With temperature-controlled storage and a streamlined pick-and-pack system, every Crowned order is managed with precision and delivered promptly, ensuring a premium unboxing experience.

Our Team
In 2024, we began growing our small but mighty team. What started as a solo venture has become a collaborative effort powered by passionate, talented individuals who help bring the brand to life every day. Expanding our team has allowed us to dream bigger, move faster, and stay rooted in the mission that started it all - to create activewear that inspires confidence, connection, and creativity.
We’re proud to now fill key roles across finance, strategy, operations, marketing, event management, and digital design. Together, we’re building something meaningful - and having a lot of fun along the way!

Our Disney Partnership
In 2025, we launched our first officially licensed Disney | Crowned Athletics Collections – a dream nine years in the making. This license gives us the honor of creating activewear that celebrates Disney stories through thoughtful design, performance-driven details, and inspirational iconography woven into each piece, while maintaining the quality and individuality at the heart of Crowned. It’s more than just apparel – it’s the chance to carry the spirit of these stories into your everyday adventures and ignite the character within.

Whether you’ve been with us since the tank top days or just discovered your first favorite matching set, you’re part of something bigger - a community that values strength, creativity, and showing up for yourself and others.
