Polyester-Free Activewear Under ₹5000 India
A polyester gym set in India can cost ₹1,499.
Eucalyptus fibre costs us close to five times the polyester yarn.
Those two numbers are not a pitch. They are just sitting there.
If you already know you want a polyester-free first buy, The First Set is Terra Bra plus Biker Shorts, sized separately, ₹4,999. Thirty days. Tags on. Courier pickup from your door if you send it back.

What "under ₹5,000" actually contains here
WEARTH does not have a sale rack. The number is the number.
Tops sit at ₹2,499. The Terra Bra and the Band-Free Bra sit at ₹2,699. Biker Shorts sit at ₹2,999. The First Set sits at ₹4,999. Everyday Joggers sit at ₹4,999, which is the ceiling of this band, not a bargain.
Off-Hours Wide-Leg sits at ₹6,499. It does not belong in this article. We will not drag a ₹6,499 pant into a ₹5,000 search to win the click.
That is the constraint. It stays a constraint.
The First Set is the two skin-contact pieces together. Terra plus the shorts, sized separately, because bust and hip are not one letter. Apart they are ₹5,698. Together they are ₹4,999. No clock on that. No invented stock count.
What the fibre is, without the sermon
Most activewear sold as performance wear is 85 to 100 percent synthetic. Polyester. Nylon. Sometimes both.
WEARTH pieces are plant-based eucalyptus fibre. The remaining stretch is 5 to 7 percent elastane, depending on the piece. There is no plant-based stretch yarn at commercial scale yet. So yes. A few percent is still synthetic. We print that on purpose.
We could knit this faster on polyester. We don't.
Closed-loop plant fibre. Solvent recovered and reused. Grown, not made. Read the composition. If a hangtag says eco and the line still says polyester, the bottle story did not change the polymer.
Nidhi, who actually wears it: "I literally live in WEARTH now. It's hard to go back."
That sentence is hers. We did not write it in a meeting.
How to spend the band without getting cute
Start with the hours the garment sits on skin. A bra or a tank is on you after the session. A jogger is often not. That is why the entry is not the ₹4,999 pant.
If sweat in a bra is the actual problem, the sibling note is here: best sports bra for sweat in India. Then come back. The set still sits under this number.
If you already have a bra you trust, a top at ₹2,499 is a smaller first step than the set. The set is the cleaner first step if you do not.
The ₹2,499 line is The Longline Tank and The Hold Crop. Same fibre family. Different cut. Neither is a racing singlet. If you want a high-neck competition top, look elsewhere. We do not make that.
Sizing runs close. Some pieces run small. Order the chart, not the ego size. If you are between, the tags-on month exists for that, not for theatre.
And no, we are not a twelve-piece neon drawer. The catalogue is small. If you need matching sets by Friday in five colours, we cannot be that drawer. Sizes sell out. Restocks take time. That is a limited-run house, not a mood.
How to spend the rupees, as a checklist you can use on any site, including ours.
Read the composition. If polyester or nylon leads, it is not polyester-free. Recycled does not change that. Blends that hide the percentage in a footnote still count.
Read the price against the yarn, not against a mall discount. A ₹1,499 polyester set is cheap because the yarn is cheap. A ₹4,999 plant-fibre set is expensive because the yarn is expensive. Those are different objects.
Read what the piece is for. Skin-contact hours first. Then the walk out of the room. Then, if you already live in the fibre, the jogger.
We thought people would enter on the pant. They do not, not as strangers. The order log is bras, tanks, the set. The pant is what believers add. That surprised us. We left the site that way on purpose after we saw it.
What this price is not
It is not organic cotton lounge shorts pretending to be gym shorts. Cotton is not polyester. Cotton also waterlogs when you actually sweat.
It is not recycled-polyester "eco" gym wear. Recycled polyester is still polyester. It still sheds plastic microfibres in the wash. The research on shedding is real. We do not claim that polyester gym wear causes a named disease. We do not need to. The fibre is enough.
It is not compression for a heavy barbell cycle. Plant-based fabric is not a compression fabric. If she wants that locked-in synthetic hold for powerlifting, synthetics still do that job better today.
But. If the job is fourteen hours of Indian heat on the same two pieces, the composition line is the whole conversation.
The money, without apology
Eucalyptus fibre costs us close to five times polyester. We do not print a higher multiple. The inefficiency is the point. A mill can run polyester all day. This yarn takes longer. We make it anyway.
Free shipping. A cotton bag, not a throwaway one. Thirty days with tags on. Courier pickup. Try it. Wear it. Move in it. Tags stay on. That is the whole ask.
There is no pay-on-delivery. Prepaid only.
After the month
If the set stays, you already know the fibre. The next rupee, if there is one, is usually a second top or the jogger. Not a drawer rebuild in a weekend.
If it goes back, tags on, courier pickup, money returned. We would rather have the piece than a polite lie in a review.
Plant fibre still needs washing like clothes, not like a science experiment. Cold or warm. No fabric softener soup. Hang it. The elastane is 5 to 7 percent. It is there so the piece comes back after a squat. It is not there to pretend the garment is only plant. The stretch is named. The plant fibre is named. Both stay on the label.
Most of what she already owns will still be polyester. That is fine. This is not a personality replacement. It is one set that does not add another plastic yarn to the hours she already spends in the old ones.
The screenshottable fact, if anyone still needs one: ₹4,999 for the pair. ₹5,698 if you split them. 5 to 7 percent elastane. The rest, trees.
One more useful split, because people ask it badly.
₹2,699 buys the bra alone. That is a real first step if the shorts problem is already solved by something you own and do not hate. ₹4,999 buys the bra and the short as one test of the fibre. If both layers are currently polyester, the set is the less stupid experiment. You find out in thirty days. You do not find out by reading twelve more articles.
We do not know your week. We know the yarn. And we know which SKU we will not fake into this band.
A quiet way to use the number
If she is going to say something at dinner, let it be a fact, not a slogan.
Most of what hangs in an Indian gym is plastic yarn.
This set is ₹4,999, plant fibre, 5 to 7 percent elastane, made in India.
The two pieces apart are ₹5,698. Together they are not.
The First Set stays ₹4,999. Tags on for 30 days. Courier pickup if it is not yours. That is the test.
Is everything WEARTH under ₹5,000?
No. Off-Hours is ₹6,499. Leaving it out is the honest version of this keyword.
Are the joggers in this band?
Everyday Joggers are ₹4,999. They sit at the top of the band. They are not the first thing we send a cold buyer to.
Is the First Set the only option under ₹5,000?
No. Separate bras, tops, and Biker Shorts all sit under the line. The set is the cleanest first move if you want one decision.
