Live fully. Laugh often. Leave a legacy.

CREATIVE DIRECTOR/DESIGNER

Kimberly Wilson launched TranquiliT in 2002 to offer chic, versatile togs for the on-the-go yogini. Starting with staples such as wrap tops and capri pants, she quickly added trendy tunics, dresses, accessories, and skirts to wear alone or over yoga pants. She is the founder of Tranquil Space Yoga, named among the top 25 yoga studios in the world by Travel + Leisure. She penned Hip Tranquil Chick to explore ways to lead a mindfully extravagant life. In 2006 Kimberly started Tranquil Space Foundation with hopes of sprinkling tranquility into our society by sharing yoga, creativity, and leadership with women and girls. She holds a Masters degree in Women's Studies, has produced three yoga CDs, and loves designing . Her work has been featured in Fit Yoga, Daily Candy, Lucky, Shape, and Yoga Journal.

ETHICS

We strive to practice the yogic principle of ahimsa (non-violence) in a variety of ways in our business:

1. All of our products are made of bamboo and organic cotton. Bamboo is anti-bacterial and doesn’t just wick moisture but is quick to dry. More importantly, it’s a fast-growing native species that is entirely renewable.
2. All TranquiliT pieces are sweatshop free and sewn in the USA.
3. TraquiliT donates a percentage of profits to Tranquil Space Foundation which brings yoga, creativity, and leadership to women and girls.
4. A tree is planted for every shipment that is sent out to help offset carbon emissions from the delivery process.
5. We will be offering an eco “shipping package turns to tote” option at the checkout process shortly. This new mailer can be turned inside out after the shipping process to be used as a canvas tote (made of recycled content), eliminating all waste from our shipping process and allowing you to have a lovely reusable tote for all your shopping excursions.
6. All other orders will be shipped via a poly-mailer, which offers the most lightweight and smallest packaging available to reduce weight and space on freighters. They also offer the most protection from damage of your goods from moisture. We are constantly in search of new 100% recyclable mailers. Feel free to return your poly-mailer to us and we’ll gladly reuse it!
7. All of our postcard ads are printed on 100% recycled paper and printed with soy inks.
8. Online shoppers receive a lovely black TranquiliT pen made from recycled tires and an organic lavender sachet.

FABRICS

Bamboo - The Cashmere of the Jungle

We desperately searched for an all-natural fabric that was as soft as silk, wicked moisture, and stood up to our demands: wash ‘n’ dry that doesn’t require ironing and looked fabulous even if it was balled up in a purse all night. Alas, our love affair with bamboo began. Bamboo is anti-bacterial (great for yoga and sports!), and doesn’t just wick moisture but is super-quick-to dry. More importantly, it’s a quick-growing native species that is entirely renewable. We’re thrilled to be able to offer you lush clothes that nurture your body and are kind to the environment.

Organic Cotton – Old Fibers for a New World

Loving the feel and weight of cotton, we searched high and low for eco-cotton blends (we currently offer with bamboo). Considering cotton uses almost 25% of the world's insecticides and more than 10% of the pesticides, we thought it was incredibly important to offer you a sustainable alternative that never sacrifices style nor comfort.
