About Us
A Star Leotard is now in it’s 5th year – it seems amazing that we started all this that long ago and that we have come so far! We started in our dining room and due to our popularity have expanded. We have recently moved into bigger premises and are producing more garments in lots of different designs.
Our aim is still to create our leotards to give gymnasts and trampolinists (and anyone else who might be interested) more choice using carefully selected modern fabrics. Hopefully our range will have something which appeals to everyone who looks for comfort, fashion and quality from a leotard.
Geography
We are based in Mid-Devon and although we move from village to village have still stayed within a 5 mile radius of where we originated. We are now in a Rural Business Centre miles from no-where!!
History
A Star is Born
And my daughters are to blame.
Having spent enough time listening to my daughters request for a specific coloured leotard and not being able to find one, I wondered that perhaps the only way to get peace in the house was to make one myself. The more I talked to other parents, the more there seemed an opportunity for a new range of outfits, particularly quality garments at realistic prices. Hence "A Star Leotards" was born. It has taken a long time and lots of research to get this far where we can offer a range of fashionable quality leotards. Initially we tried to obtain British made fabrics but could not find the quality of manufacture we wanted (if you're out there please contact me!) so we import most of our fabric from Europe. Our designers spoke to young gymnasts and trampolinists to discover what points they consider to be important and then a range was produced, we hope you like them.
Five years on and they are both still using our leotards in their chosen sports even though one has left home!
Logistics
We employ local people, mainly mums with children at schools locally to cut, sew, embroider, diamante, check quality, process orders, administer accounts. We work closely as a team to bring you the quality garments you have come to expect from A Star Leotards.
Being a small company we can often make individual garments as requested so if you see a design that you like which is not in the fabric you like then please give us a ring and we will try and help. Or try out our new creation the “custom leotard”. This is a part of the website where you can look at our designs and try them out with different fabric options to see what they would look like. If you like one and want a quotation then send us an e-mail and we will send you the price (it’ll cost you but you get it back on the price of the leotard if you order it!)
Also if any clubs or schools want special designs, for teams for example, then please do not hesitate to contact us.
A Star Leotards are absolutely dedicated to your total satisfaction. If you have any suggestions or comments please email us at sales@astarleotards.co.uk.
