Our Story
Founded by Sylvia Pichler in 1994, Sylvia P has grown into a world-leading gymnastics apparel manufacturer over the past three decades. Proudly Australian-made and family-owned and operated—with former gymnasts throughout the family—we’ve built up long-standing trust within the wider gymnastics community based on simple core values of building confidence, expressing yourself—and having fun.
Amplifying the fun factor with a pinch of crazy, we’ve turned the business of making leotards into a brightly coloured, playful, sparkly world. Designed to inspire and empower the next generation of today (and tomorrow!), our leotards encourage every type of personality to shine with confidence and authentically be themselves.
With creativity and fun the beating heart of our brand—from our original designs through to our bright visual content and customer experience—we deliver a unique experience from the second you open your package at the front door, to the years of use you’ll enjoy after.
Our designers are free-spirited dreamers and makers, handcrafting imagination and sunshine into every garment. We encourage a strong focus on in-house textile design, offering distinctive and exclusive prints across youthful and unique shapes—with simply gorgeous back designs—ensuring every move is tumble-tastic on the gym floor.
Quality has always been our foundation, with our garments made for all-day comfort at training, day in and day out. To us, wearing Sylvia P is a feeling and not just a look. So from the fabric selection to the fit, Sylvia P is designed to stand the test of time, handed down from one generation to the next.
As a family business with deep roots in the gymnastics world, community is at our core. From our SP Besties program, Ambassadors and more, we partner with athletes, associations and our audience to create authentic connections and a positive impact within our community and our sport.
