The Lore

I’m Maya, the founder of STÆRKE.

After six years of building my own path in the gym - learning, training, and figuring things out on my own - I kept running into the same problem: I didn’t have a bag that actually worked for me. Everything on the market either catered to "gym bros" with dark, intense, masculine designs, or was too bulky to bring onto the gym floor. Most bags were designed to be left in the locker, not something I wanted to carry with me while I trained.

I needed something different. A bag I could actually bring into the gym - one that didn’t mean throwing my things on the dirty floor or dragging around a clunky, awkward bag. It had to be functional, sleek, and feel right for women who train hard but still value intention and style.

STÆRKE is for women who want a gym bag that keeps up with them. A bag that lets you move through the gym, and their everyday, with confidence.

Thank you for being part of the beginning. I can’t wait to grow this with you.
