Putting a fashionable spin on activewear is what maha! inspired activewear is known for. Women can find garments that easily translate from studio to street so that they can go from pilates to running errands while still looking chic. When maha first opened in Wayzata, it only sold activewear. Now, it sells a mix of activewear and ready to wear. This allows maha to recommend unique combinations like combat boots with a tennis skirt or cowboy boots with leggings for a less predictable look. Scarves, hats and jewelry are popular selling items to accessorize activewear and women can find all of these at maha. maha has many different styles of both activewear and ready to wear, but only carries a few sizes of each style. When each size is sold out, new product is moved to the floor so that shoppers can always find something new and they know that they won't see many other people wearing the same clothing as they are.
