Godefroyae Orchid print pattern development, from photographed flower to fabric design

WHAT WE DO

Every piece we make starts with a real pattern — an orchid, a wild cat's coat — photographed exactly as it exists in nature, then shaped into abstract art inspired by nature. That same respect for the real thing shapes how we make the clothes themselves.

The Untamed Beauty of the World

THE CATCH OF NATURE is an eco-conscious activewear brand built on one rule: every print starts as a real, photographed flower or coat marking, shaped into abstract art inspired by nature. We specialize in recycled yoga leggings and long-sleeve crop tops, each named after the exact orchid it came from, from the Tiger Orchid's leopard-dark markings to Rancho Bariloche's white-and-gold bloom.

  • I. From Real Flower to Art

    Every pattern starts as a real, photographed flower or coat marking, shaped into abstract art inspired by nature.

  • II. Recycled Materials

    Our crop tops are made from recycled polyester, built to reduce footprint without cutting performance.

  • III. Wearable Art

    Nature spent millions of years perfecting these markings. We just make sure you can wear them.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes your prints different?

Every print starts as a real, photographed flower or animal pattern, shaped into abstract art inspired by nature, not an illustration invented from scratch. We photograph the actual specimen and carry that pattern onto fabric, so what you're wearing began as something real.

What are your pieces made of?

Our leggings, shorts, and crop tops are made from four-way stretch polyester-elastane blends (composition varies by product, check each product page), designed for both activewear and everyday wear.

How do I find my size?

Each product page includes a size guide with measurements. Please check it carefully before ordering, since every piece is made to order specifically for you, we're unable to offer exchanges for incorrect size selection.

Do your leggings run true to size?

Our four-way stretch fabric is designed to move with you, but sizing can vary slightly between styles. Always check the specific size chart on the product page before ordering.

Do you ship worldwide?
