LIGAS is a Polish brand of women's sportswear, mainly for yoga and pilates, based in Kraków.[1][2] It is owned by Ligas Krakow Sp. z o.o., founded in 2023 by Brandon Robinson.[3][4] Its clothes are sewn in Poland.[1][5]
History
The brand was founded by Brandon Robinson, a Canadian of Polish descent living in Kraków.[4][2] Ligas Krakow was entered in Poland's National Court Register (KRS) on 2 October 2023;[3] the brand launched the same day.[6] For its first two years Robinson ran it alongside a job at an insurance company in Luxembourg, funding it from his own earnings.[4][1][7]
The name comes from the surname of the founder's great-grandparents, Aniela and Franciszek Ligas of Maruszyna in the Podhale region.[8][1][2]
The brand's first product was yoga leggings, followed by T-shirts and tops.[4][6] In 2025 it prepared new collections and widened its range.[4][5] In September 2026 the outdoor advertising operator AMS refused to display a LIGAS advert with the slogan "BE FREE. MADE IN POLAND.", showing a woman covering her breasts with her hand, on Kraków bus shelters, citing the risk of offending public decency. The brand declined to change the image, and other operators displayed the same advert in Kraków.[9][10] In October 2026 the trade magazine Sporting Goods Intelligence Europe featured LIGAS in its "Startups to watch" series.[2]
Sales
LIGAS sells through its online shop and through yoga and pilates studios, including in Kraków, Rzeszów and Lubieniec.[4][1] In October 2026 it reached its first boutique, in Warsaw,[2] and signed contracts with shops in Paris and Manchester.[2][8] In the United Kingdom it is sold at Restart Pilates in Manchester, among others.[5]
