About

“Portance” – the French word for uplift.

Giving uplift, making the transitions between a demanding professional life and concentrated training as smooth, as easy, as flowing as possible – that is our mission.

Nothing should disturb, everything should be playfully simple. But why in French? We are not French, because actually we are quite German with our demand for absolutely well-thought-out functionality.

But that's not all. Portance is not just any functional clothing. Portance is also fashion that you like to show off – Portance is also about elegance, a sovereign lightness, aesthetics. Portance is also a look. And what could be more natural than a bow to the country that, like no other, stands for all of this?

English? Sure, that would be obvious. Somehow too obvious. And the question: English again? (By the way, uplift would be "lift", like the apple spritzers from Atlanta). No, Portance has more independence, originality, more meaning and sound.

Portance is the fabric from which urban & innovative athleisurewear for the sport-conscious man is made.
