Pointe for Paws

The Matcha Collective started when a love of pilates and a love of animals met in the middle. From running out of the studio after teaching to go volunteer at the local animal shelter, I knew that there had to be a way to make the best of both worlds (ahem — Hannah Montana) and after seeing my rescue pup, Matcha, trying to steal a pair of socks from my bag, I immediately knew what I wanted to do.

Meet Matcha — the rescue pup who started it all.

The Matcha Collective is a small business made up of pilates lovers and animal advocates who believe every pair of grip socks should make a difference.

Why Grip Socks?

It's a reminder that you can move through your life gently and still make an impact. That something as small as what you wear—what you choose—can ripple outward.

Every item is hand-designed to fit right into your closet. And every purchase gives back to animal shelters and rescues, helping animals get to their furever homes.
