Equestroom Unveils the Holiday Herd Collection—A Limited-Edition Collaboration With Equine Artist Jasmine Elizabeth Indio, California Dec 2, 2025 (Issuewire.com) - Equestroom Unveils the Holiday Herd CollectionA Limited-Edition Collaboration With Equine Artist Jasmine Elizabeth One-of-a-kind equestrian gifts, home décor, and wearable art arrive just in time for holiday gifting. Equestroom, the equestrian brand known for premium matching saddle pad sets and lifestyle accessories, announces the launch of the Holiday Herd Collection, a limited-edition collaboration with acclaimed equine artist Jasmine Elizabeth. The collection transforms Jasmines expressive, hand-sketched horse illustrations into a curated line of luxury lifestyle giftsincluding satin pajamas, sherpa blankets, journals, greeting cards, socks, mugs, gym bags, aprons, and weekender totes. Designed exclusively for Equestroom, each piece brings the warmth, movement, and emotion of her signature Herd style into everyday equestrian life. A Collaboration Rooted in Art, Emotion & Storytelling Jasmines artistic journey began long before she had a studio or a brandstarting with a childhood spent caring for horses and sketching their forms. Her very first Herd painting, now known as the York St. Herd, still hangs in her home. She originally created it to match the warm earth tones of her living room, exploring a more abstract, collage-inspired way of depicting horses. The piece unexpectedly sparked interest from friends and fellow riders. Soon she was receiving requests for similar work, eventually expanding the Herd into a full artistic style that now includes horses, cattle, deer, and buffalo. The Holiday Herd Made Exclusively for Equestroom When asked what excited her most about the collaboration, Jasmine shared something that shaped the heart of this collection: Ive been a horse girl my whole life, and I lived for anything with a horse pattern on it. Knowing that my art will be on the items horse lovers use every day thats a full-circle moment for me. Each design in the Holiday Herd Collection features Jasmines signature lineworkexpressive, fluid, and layered with hidden details. Her paintings often include small Easter eggs: simplified horse heads and cow heads, nods to her earliest pieces Galloping and Wayward. These subtle shapes add a sense of discovery to every textile and gift. The exclusive Holiday Herd print was created specifically for Equestroom, celebrating the cozy, nostalgic feeling of equestrian winter: barn mornings, frosty breath, warm lights, and the quiet companionship of horses. Perfect Gifts for Horse Lovers, Trainers, & Barn Friends The Holiday Herd Collection answers a need many riders have during the festive season: unique, artistic gifts that feel personal not mass-produced. Highlights include: Holiday Herd Sherpa Blanket: A gallery-worthy print paired with plush winter warmth Holiday Herd Satin Pajamas: Luxe loungewear for cold barn nights or cozy mornings Hardcover Journal: A place to record training progress, goals, and barn memories Greeting Card Set: Frameable art for holiday mail and barn gift exchanges Weekender Bag: A durable travel companion for shows, clinics, and winter trips Apron, gym bag, mugs, socks, and more Each product is crafted to be gift-ready, beautifully printed, and inspired by the movement and soul of horses. A Giftable Collection for Equestrians Everywhere The Holiday Herd collaboration allows us to offer gifts that feel deeply personal to equestrians, said Equestroom. Jasmines art captures the spirit of the horse in a way that is both emotional and elevated. These designs arent just printstheyre keepsakes.

As Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL), the transfer portal, and extended eligibility reshape the collegiate ecosystem, the ICAA is establishing a modern, structured, and equitable competitive environment tailored to the needs of todays student-athletes and the institutions that support them. Built to fill a significant gap in the national athletics framework, the ICAA provides a complete governance system for programs outside legacy associationsdelivering academic oversight, competitive structure, eligibility regulation, and national championship pathways. With member institutions growing across the United States, the ICAA is rapidly becoming a central force in the new era of college athletics. A Modern Solution for a New College Sports Landscape College athletics is experiencing unprecedented transition. NIL opportunities, increased student mobility through the transfer portal, and expanded eligibility rulesparticularly for junior college athleteshave created both opportunity and uncertainty for institutions. Many schools are seeking a structured developmental environment that prepares athletes for advancement while maintaining academic and competitive integrity. The ICAA was created to meet this moment.

Printful Details What’s Involved in Selling Activewear Online Charlotte, North Carolina Nov 24, 2025 (Issuewire.com) - Printful, a leading print-on-demand fulfillment partner, today released a practical roadmap explaining what is involved in selling activewear online, from choosing a niche and building a product line to marketing, fulfillment, and long-term brand growth. The announcement comes as activewear and athleisure shift from performance-only apparel to everyday staples, fueling one of ecommerces fastest-growing categories. Activewear isnt just gym clothing anymore, its part of how people live, said Davis Srmi, Director of Growth Marketing at Printful. That lifestyle shift is why selling activewear online is such a strong opportunity right now. Printful is here to make launching and scaling fitness clothing lines simple, low-risk, and profitable for creators and brands in the US. A market expanding beyond the gym Activewears rise is rooted in a broader wellness movement that now includes physical, mental, and lifestyle priorities. This change is visible in the numbers: the global athleisure market is projected to grow from $338.48 billion in 2024 to $716.05 billion by 2032, nearly doubling in value as comfort and functionality merge with fashion. The activewear segment is also accelerating in parallel, with North America leading the global market and holding a 34.23% share in 2024 - an indicator of how central the US is to category growth. Whats involved in selling activewear online Selling activewear online starts with identifying a specific audience and the real-world use cases they care about. US gym participation provides a strong signal here: the average gym membership costs about $59 per month, with budget memberships as low as $10 and premium clubs reaching roughly $100, showing how widely Americans invest in fitness and the gear that supports it. Boutique fitness culture further reinforces the opportunity, with boutique studios accounting for about 42% of all gym memberships - communities that often value identity-driven apparel and are primed for specialized merch. A niche isnt a limitation; its your launchpad, said Davis Srmi. When you know whether youre serving runners, yoga regulars, plus-size lifters, surf athletes, or athleisure commuters, everything else becomes easier: your product choices, your designs, and your marketing. Once a niche is defined, brands build product pillars to match it. Some lines lean toward performance essentials such as rash guards, sports bras, and athletic shorts. Others prioritize athleisure classics like leggings, joggers, and hoodies built for comfort in and out of workouts. A third lane blends fitness with streetwear, using bold graphics and trend-forward silhouettes to capture younger, style-driven shoppers. Printfuls catalog supports all three paths, giving sellers the flexibility to start narrow and expand based on customer response. The next key decision is sourcing and fulfillment. Traditionally, brands had to buy inventory in bulk, predict demand months ahead, and absorb the risk of storage, leftover stock, or missed trend windows. Printfuls print-on-demand model removes those constraints by producing items only when orders come in, enabling online sellers to test designs, refresh drops, and scale winners without upfront inventory investment. Design and branding are the next pieces of the puzzle. Activewear design has to work in motion: prints must complement stretch, sit well on the body, and hold visual impact during real use. At the same time, brands need a recognizable story and clear values, whether thats performance innovation, sustainability, inclusivity, or lifestyle confidence. Printful supports creators with tools like its Design Maker and with sample ordering so sellers can validate fit and feel before scaling. Finally, activewear growth depends on marketing that shows products in real life. Short-form video, creator collaborations, studio partnerships, and limited-edition drops are especially effective in the US, where customers discover and buy fitness fashion through social proof. Because activewear is meant to be worn in motion, content that demonstrates movement and versatility often outperforms static product shots. US merchant examples: how Printful helps activewear brands scale Printfuls US merchant community shows how these steps translate into growth. A boutique Pilates-focused brand in California launched a minimalist athleisure capsule using Printful leggings and tops, then tested new seasonal colorways weekly. Within two months, repeat purchase rates rose by 19% as returning customers bought fresh drops without the brand needing to hold inventory. In Texas, a boutique fitness studio built an online merch store for its members using Printful hoodies, joggers, and embroidered caps. The studio sold out its first community drop in 10 days and doubled reorder volume on an instructor-collab release, turning offline loyalty into a scalable online revenue stream. A Colorado outdoor training creator developed a streetwear-activewear hybrid line through Printful and marketed it with trail-running videos and limited releases. The brand saw average order value climb 27% as customers bought coordinated sets and added complementary layers for different seasons. Printfuls role in the next wave of activewear ecommerce As wellness-led lifestyles continue to expand activewear demand, Printful is investing in the products, print methods, and fulfillment capacity merchants need to compete. From performance blends to athleisure staples and size-inclusive options, Printful enables brands to launch with confidence, stay trend-responsive, and deliver consistent quality nationwide. The opportunity is big, but the path to success is clear, said Davis Srmi. Start with a niche, build a tight product line, market with movement, and fulfill with someone you trust. Printful exists to be that trusted partner so brands can grow in one of the most exciting categories in ecommerce. About PrintfulPrintful is a global print-on-demand and warehousing company that helps brands and creators turn ideas into products without inventory risk. With fulfillment centers in the US and worldwide, Printful powers custom apparel and lifestyle goods for businesses of every size.
