What is OCEANSAPART?

OCEANSAPART is a digital-native activewear brand from Berlin. It designs sports and yoga clothing for women and sells it directly to consumers through its own online stores.

History

The brand was founded in Berlin in 2017 and operated by Rise Up Fashion GmbH. It grew rapidly as a direct-to-consumer business with core markets in Germany, France, Italy and Poland. In July 2024 the company entered provisional insolvency proceedings and continued trading while an investor was sought.

In November 2024 a subsidiary of Snocks acquired the brand, the online shop operations and the warehouse in an asset deal. The brand has been maintained under the new owner.

Products and positioning

The range focuses on women's activewear: sports clothing and yogawear designed for training and active lifestyles, developed and marketed as a digital brand.

Distribution

OCEANSAPART sells through its own online shops rather than physical retail, serving customers mainly in Germany, France, Italy and Poland.

Why it matters

OCEANSAPART's path from fast-growing DTC start-up to acquisition by Snocks reflects consolidation in the German digital-native fashion sector, where larger online brands are absorbing peers to gain scale.
