Andar

Andar is a South Korean athleisure brand specializing in functional activewear. Its aesthetic emphasizes minimalist design and ergonomic construction tailored for daily movement. The brand represents a subculture of wellness and practical fashion, prioritizing comfort and versatility within the contemporary urban lifestyle.

History

Founded in 2015 by Shin Ae-ryun, Andar emerged during the rapid growth of the South Korean fitness industry. It gained significance by addressing specific fit requirements for Asian consumers, a segment previously underserved by Western athletic labels. The brand played a pivotal role in normalizing leggings as everyday attire in Korea. Following a period of rapid expansion, it was acquired by Eco Marketing in 2021, marking a shift toward data-driven global distribution.
