About Pierre Sports

Once there was... …A monk called Dom Pierre Pérignon. In the 17th century, he invented champagne and was the first to apply cork to close champagne bottles. From that moment onwards, cork started being purposefully cultivated, mainly in Portugal. Fast forward 400 years, and cork is still standing. The construction, interior design & fashion industry are among those who discovered the potential of this fine material. People are searching for sustainable alternatives that do not harm our planet and offer a great experience, performance, comfort. Cork fits perfectly in this request. Our founder Pieter Vandewiele also wanted to contribute to this sustainable evolution. Portugal being his second home, as his parents run a charming B&B Casa Mama Mia in the Algarve, he started visiting cork factories in Portugal and brainstormed during the first lockdown in Belgium. The result is Pierre Sports, a lifestyle brand that creates comfortable & sustainable yoga & sports equipment, using Portuguese cork and other natural or recycled materials such as wool, linen, recycled rubber,... All of our products are made in Europe and we only produce in small batches. Let's make your daily exercise a sustainable & comfortable experience!Read their story
