THREE GAPS. ONE BRAND.
The clothes never kept up.
Most brands built their patterns around one body and called it standard. If you have strong quads, broad shoulders, a chest that moves, you already know. The waistband gaps. The fabric pulls. You leave the changing room feeling like the problem.
You were never the problem. The clothes were.
But fit is only one part of what the industry got wrong. The fabrics most brands use are loaded with synthetic polymers, chemical dyes, and PFAS coatings that sit against your skin all day. Nobody talks about this. Nobody fixes it.
The sustainable options exist. But they sacrifice luxury, fit, and performance to get there.
Arya was built to close all three gaps at once. Engineered fit for the body that actually moves. Skin conscious materials that respect what they touch. The Arya Standard refuses to compromise any of it.
“The industry told you your body was the problem. It wasn't. The clothes were.”

Gaps Arya closes simultaneously. Fit, skin health, and sustainable luxury.
Materials
What touches your skin matters.
No PFAS coatings
Forever chemicals have no place in fabric that touches your skin all day. Every Arya material is PFAS-free by design.
No toxic dyes
Conventional dye systems carry compounds that sit against your skin for hours. We refuse every one of them.
No virgin synthetics
Most athleisure is plastic. Petroleum-based fibers that trap heat, irritate skin, and shed microplastics in every wash. Not here.
The Arya Standard: if we would not wear it against our own skin, we will not make it.
Fit Philosophy
Every pattern starts with the body that moves.
Standard sizing was built for a standard body. Arya's patterns start from scratch, with real bodies and real movement in mind, and the belief that a body that surfs, moves, rides, and lives fully deserves fabric that keeps up.
Our Women's and Men's cuts share the same philosophy: engineered separately for each form, so everyone gets the same standard of fit.
Thighs
Extended room. No pulling at any depth.
Hips
Built for the hips that move. No squeezing, no gapping.
Arya was born between two worlds: the salt air of Southern California and the ancient textile traditions of Persia. One shaped by movement, the other by centuries of craft.
The name Arya comes from the ancient Persian word for noble and honorable, the very root of the name Iran itself. It reflects a simple belief: the way you move through the world should be matched by what you wear.
At Arya, we build garments with care. Materials chosen with intention. Fit refined through movement. Craft without shortcuts. From NobleFlex to the final seam, every detail is intentional.
Built with intention.
Made to move with you.
Rooted in something real.
Mission
Built with purpose. Rooted in nobility.
Arya was built on a simple belief: that what you put on your body matters as much as what you put in it. Every decision we make, from the fabrics we choose to the communities we invest in, is held to the same standard that has guided Persian craft for thousands of years. Precision as a form of respect. For the wearer. For the maker. For the world we all share.
Persian craft philosophy holds that doing something with complete precision is itself a form of art. Every stitch, every seam, every fit decision at Arya is held to that standard. No shortcuts. No compromises. Built to outlast trends by decades.
Every Arya fabric is chosen with your health in mind. No harmful dyes. No toxic synthetics against your body. Materials that feel as good as they perform. Because luxury should never come at the cost of your wellbeing.
For everyone who lives fully and moves often. Not one sport. Not one body type. Not one image. Clothing that crosses every terrain, every ritual, every version of you.
A portion of every Arya purchase goes toward building schools and athletic centers for children in underserved communities, starting with Iran and growing wherever the need exists. Sport gave our founder his confidence and his mental strength. We believe every child deserves that same opportunity.
THE FOUNDERS
We built what didn't exist.
Arya was born between two people, two worlds, and one shared belief: that clothing should make you feel like yourself.
They share a belief that people are too complex for brands that speak to only one sport, one body, one image. Clothing does not have to choose between performance and beauty. Between function and intention.
And they believe building something real means giving something back. A portion of every Arya purchase goes toward building schools and athletic centers for children in underserved communities because the culture that shaped this brand deserves to see what its next generation can become.
Together they built Arya. A meeting point between two worlds. The California coast that inspires the lifestyle, and the ancient Persian heritage that shaped the craft.
NIMA GOUGERCHIAN
Co-Founder
Nima grew up bigger than the clothes that were supposed to fit him. A state wrestler and football player, he lived in his body in a way most brands never accounted for. Joggers that fit his waist turned into skinny jeans at the thigh. Shirts that fit his shoulders billowed everywhere else. He would go for a run and come back with chafing. The fabrics were not right either. Synthetic polymers that did not breathe, did not last, and did not respect the body wearing them.
But it was more than fit. Sport gave him his confidence. At his lowest points, athletics gave him his mental strength and his sense of self. He knows what it means when your body and your clothes finally work together. That feeling is what Arya is built to give everyone.
LUCY SAGER
Co-Founder
Lucy came to Southern California from Florida in 2022 and found a life built around movement, wellness, and intention. Her first Persian New Year with Nima's family changed something in her. She was taught about the Haft Seen, each element on the table carrying a meaning, a wish, an intention. A culture that treated everything it touched as worth doing beautifully.
Studying to become a family therapist, Lucy's life work is helping people overcome anxiety and rebuild their self worth. She knows the specific discomfort of women's activewear that rides up, pulls, and makes you self-conscious mid-movement when you should feel free. That problem is personal to her. Fixing it is personal to Arya.

THE ARYA STANDARD
There is a standard behind every decision we make.
Every fabric. Every seam. Every fit decision. Held to the same standard that has guided Persian craft for thousands of years. We have nothing to hide and everything to share.
