Ūkaipō is a purpose-driven sportswear brand created by a mum, for mums and mums-to-be who refuse to choose between motherhood and movement. We design high-performance, stylish activewear that supports women through every stage of their motherhood journey from pregnancy to postpartum and beyond. More than just activewear, Ūkaipō is a movement. We’re here to challenge outdated narratives, break stigmas, and celebrate the strength, resilience, and power of mothers who prioritise their physical and mental wellbeing. Our community is built on connection, confidence, and the shared belief that motherhood is not the end of your athletic identity. It’s just the beginning. Whether you're lifting, walking, stretching, or chasing toddlers, you’re a mumlete, and we’re here for you.
