FINDING OUT ABOUT OUR GEAR

does lululemon offer a catalogue?
No.  At lululemon, we update our styles and colours weekly. You can sign up for our online store's email below the image on our homepage to keep up with the latest gear as it comes out on the site.
can you tell me when new products and events are announced?
Sure!  Sign up for sign up for our online store's email (below the image on our homepage) to be the first to know. Or find your local store to sign up and find out about complimentary yoga, events and the moment new gear hits the floor.
are the products on the website the same as in the stores?
Yes.  Although our website may have a different assortment than a store in your area, the products are the same. To find a store in your area, check out our store finder.
why are products available on the Canadian site but not on the US site and vice versa?
In order to serve our guests better, we have two warehouses - one in Canada and one in the US. The advantage of this is that guests don't pay customs duties (we don't cross-border ship). The disadvantage is that the warehouses sell out at different rates so one site may still have items that have sold out on the other.
are there other places on the internet to buy lululemon?
No.  The site you're on now is the only authorized and official place on the internet for lululemon shopping.
do you carry clothing for children?
Yes!  We created ivivva athletica for girls aged 4 to 14, based on feedback from younger guests at lululemon. The ivivva team works with dancers, gymnasts, ice skaters and athletes to create the technical garments they need to perform at the gym, studio, ice rink and on the field. All ivivva products are made with the same technical, wicking fabrics used by lululemon. Visit ivivva.com to order products online and find your nearest ivivva location.

No receipt is required and it’s no cost to you. Our complimentary hemming provides a custom length for your garment to make it perfect for you. Unfortunately, we don’t do alterations that change the intended design or remove a technical feature.

how do I become a strategic sales partner?

PRODUCT EDUCATION

what does lululemon make its clothing from?
We use multiple technical fabrics for our various lines of clothing. Please visit the fabrics and technologiespage for more details about our fabrics and their properties.
what is the optimum way to care for lululemon garments?
If you're in a rush, our fabrics can be washed on warm and dried on warm as well. However, to really take care of your gear, we recommend you wash it in cold water and hang or lay it flat to dry. Check out our care instructions page for more details.
what are the technical features of lululemon garments?
There are too many to list here. You can find information about a lot of them on our A to Z of product features.  Find out why a dropped hem is a good thing (ditto for the hockey butt) and why we love cuffins.
what’s the scoop on raspberry glo light?
We love bright colours and we're constantly innovating to bring you the biggest, boldest colours out there. Here's what you need to know about raspberry glo light:

  • Just like your favourite new pair of denim, there’s a very slight risk of colour change or transfer with highly saturated hues. Wash your bright colours alone in cold water before wearing to remove any excess dye that can occur as part of the dyeing process.
  • People with high alkaline levels in their sweat (we’re talking less than 2% of the population) might notice permanent colour change in raspberry glo light gear after working out.

If you experience colour change that doesn’t wash out, just give our Guest Education Centre a call toll free at 1.877.263.9300 and we’ll make it right.

MARKDOWNS = FINAL SALE

what does “We Made Too Much” mean? It means items have been marked down in price and are final sale (no returns, no exchanges).
does lululemon athletica offer price adjustments?
no, lululemon does not offer price adjustments.
does lululemon ever discount their products?
sometimes, we do mark down the prices of select styles and colours. Individual store managers make these decisions based on their store’s inventory, so you may see a variance of marked down items between stores. In all stores and online, marked-down product (ie, product that is not full-priced) is always final sale (no returns, no exchanges).

RESELLING

can anyone buy and sell lululemon gear?
No. Our product is only available through our stores, showrooms, in select studio partners and online. Guests who are shopping online should note that lululemon product is only available on the following URLs:

  • lululemon.com
  • lululemon.com.au
  • lululemon.co.nz
  • lululemon.co.uk
  • eu.lululemon.com
  • lululemon.com.hk

The products we offer are not meant for resale through any unverified third party, online, or physical channels.

are you connected with sites that offer discounted lululemon gear?
No. We are not affiliated with sites other than our own ecommerce channels. The only URLs that are lululemon channels are:

  • lululemon.com
  • lululemon.com.au
  • lululemon.co.nz
  • lululemon.co.uk
  • eu.lululemon.com
  • lululemon.com.hk

It’s important for our guests to know that we definitely do not support reselling our products. As you know, we strive to offer a best-in-class experience for our guests, both online and in stores, where we can educate on the technical features of each garment and make sure each guest leaves with product that best supports their sweaty pursuits. We don’t recommend purchasing from third party sellers because it does not give our guests access to that experience and you could potentially spend money on product that does not represent the quality that we stand so firmly behind. Most importantly, when you buy from third party sellers, you may be unknowingly purchasing fake products.

how much gear can I buy?
That's up to the store. Each store reserves the right to limit quantities and refuse to sell to any guest whom we believe may be purchasing for resale or purchasing excessive quantities of items with limited availability.

QUALITY COMMITMENT

how long can I expect my lululemon gear to last?
Quality is one of our core values, so you can trust we take it seriously. We design the majority of our product line to withstand five years of intended use and keep its functional intent. When used for its proposed activity, it will guide you in downward dog today and still go with the flow five years from now.Some parts of your closet are not built to cross that five year finish line. For example, bras, socks, swimwear and intimates actually expire – so we recommend you replace them every few years. Key reasons for this are wide variations in how each individual uses them; harsh conditions that endure; and ensuring you are getting the best support possible from the elastic found in these garments.
how does lululemon take a stand for quality?
When something’s not right – we want to know! Our stores and Guest Education Centre are in constant communication with support channels and are the eyes and ears of what’s going on with our product. If your garment does not hold up, bring it to your local store or contact the GEC.Quality issues for which we would issue an exchange or gift card include:• all over pilling (not in abrasion areas)• complete stitch unraveling or seam splitting• color bleeding• broken snapsWhenever possible we will fix issues with the product you love:• reattach buttons that have been brought in• replace broken zippers, including zipper tape or pull (zipper options include black, white, or grey)• replace logos that may have fallen off during washing/dryingIf you find an issue outside of those listed above please contact us at our stores or contact the GEC immediately so we can help solve the issue.

The lululemon team sales program develops relationships with teams who actively support their communities. Read about our team sales programand fill in a team sales application.
