ECO-FRIENDLY

We try to be as eco-friendly as we can be. A large portion of our clothing is made from organic cotton or vegan material, and we create items only when ordered, so we don't create waste.

OUR HISTORY

We started out in 2022 with a small website called Sporttonix. This was a place to get sports clothing and find some articles on the basics of working out. 

 

We had no profit incentive, all we had was the drive to show people in our circles how to get into the work-out lifestyle and which types of clothes are ideal to use when doing sports. Over time, this grew to be not only clothing and gear, but also workout programs, advice on a broad range of topics related to sports, recipes, a whole range of articles and more. 

 

Later, we added the Apollo Imperium branch. This branch contains books & bookish things, art, photography prints, home decor, meditations,  and we have a range of artists with all kinds of styles, adding their own touch to our libraries. Recently, we've started hosting zines! We started narrowing down on what we truly enjoy doing: creating books and art.

​

We are strictly against AI and fast-fashion and -products. Our website houses real works, created by real people. The easier route is not always the best, and we created a store that stands completely free from big platforms commerce platforms like AliExpress. None of the art or books contain AI, unless the artists or authors have not been truthful, in which case we welcome any alerts to this.
