Kenyan-born, Dutch multiple World champion in distance running, Lornah Kiplagat today launched her own apparel line ‘Lornah‘ for active women in Amsterdam.
Kiplagat is renowned for her powerful, offensive running style that evokes associations with a lion. Her nickname is Simba, which is Swahili for lion. The lion is therefore inseparable from the sports brand Lornah.
On her website she describes wearing Lornah as “feeling the spirit of Africa on your skin, in your soul, in your life”.
Lornah offers unique feminine African designs, fine fabrics and an exceptionally elegant fit. You wear Lornah to perform, to feel good, to enjoy life.
