Buddha PAnts

Buddha Pants® is a clothing company dedicated to creating multi-functional travel ready apparel, focusing on comfort; encouraging an active lifestyle. The name was manifested in 2012; after a year of prototyping; research, design and development we manufactured in November 2013. We produce in Fort Lauderdale, Florida and Ho Chi Minh, Vietnam at a little factory that only makes Buddha pants along with garments for two other brands.

Buddha Pants® fold themselves into their own pocket, making them a perfect travel-ready addition to any wardrobe! Buddha Pants® give the illusion of a large triangular skirt but have flexible ankles that can be pulled up on the calf to create different looks. Buddha Pants are free feeling, 100% cotton, premium yoga harem pants designed for relaxation from yoga to a night out. All styles pack into their pocket!

Hi Friends,
Thanks so much for stopping here. Our customers are the foundation of our business, so I appreciate you being here so much. I started making harem pants our of the love for them. I was having a hard time finding well made harem pants that had pockets. So I decided to make some. I enjoy giving people the comfort of freedom and being fashionably and fun. Please feel free to reach out to me for anything. Rachel (at) BuddhaPants.com

"I wanted to create a premium harem pant with pockets - that allowed for them to be packed up, making them convenient and comfy! I hope you enjoy them as much as I do" -Rachel Raab (Marketing Director & Founder)

SAMANTHA

Samantha is a science major turned yoga instructor turned work from home mama from Philly. She’s lived all over from Denver to Dubai but keeps coming back to Fort Lauderdale where she loves spending time under the palm trees with her two beautiful daughters. She is passionate about maintaining a healthy, active lifestyle. In her free time you can usually find her practicing vinyasa, checking out the newest vegan spot, or enjoying a chai latte at a local coffee shop. I found my way to Buddha Pants in 2018 by a series of happy “coincidences”.

I love working for a company that is so mindful about their products, from the design to the creation all the way to the customer unboxing experience. I’m inspired daily by the women and moms I get to call colleagues and I’m so happy my daughters see an example of what it means to truly enjoy the work you do. My favorite part of working for Buddha Pants is the collaborative spirit that makes the company so great!

SARAH

Sarah is the quintessential extroverted  introvert,  being both outgoing yet reserved. She is a devoted mom of two teenage daughters and a personal trainer, but does her best to also find time for some serenity in nature and outdoor activities. She is originally from Vermont where she grew up skiing and mountain biking and attended college for early childhood education.  

I have  been a part of this incredible  Buddha Pants family for 4 years now. I met Rachel, the creator and owner of Buddha Pants, when she would take my fitness class at a local yoga studio and found out we were neighbors! I began personal training her when COVID closed all of the gyms and it just so happened that she needed some extra help at her warehouse at the time. I went from working a few times a week to now becoming the warehouse manager and shipping/receiving of all products. I am very grateful to be working daily with such creative and inspiring people that I can also truly call my good friends.

MIRANDA

Miranda, an international yoga teacher and social media manager for Buddha Pants, embodies a life enriched by art, travel, and mindful living. Her heart is drawn to exploration as she embraces her love for travel, infusing all aspects of her life with a cultured and artistic touch. 

My connection with Buddha Pants traces back to the Toronto Yoga Conference in 2013, and my relationship with this remarkable brand has flourished ever since. Initially, I shared my presence as a model and influencer, but it quickly transformed into a friendship with the visionary force behind the brand, Rachel. While there are countless reasons that endeared me to Buddha Pants, what resonates most profoundly is their ability to ignite connections and evoke the spirit of playfulness.

Sharon

Introducing our fitness fanatic extraordinaire in Fort Lauderdale - the one and only Sharon! This fitness junkie’s obsession with staying fit is so intense; we're pretty sure her dumbbells double as pillows. As an Indoor Cycle instructor and NASM Certified Personal Trainer, Sharon knows all the tricks to help you shed those stubborn pounds, and they've even taught their Labradoodle Mini a few yoga poses (don't be surprised if your downward dog gets upstaged). When she's not sculpting beach bodies or teaching Aqua Aerobics, you can find Sharon hitting the waves or catching some rays. With 23 years of marriage under her belt, Sharon and her spouse might just be the real experts at keeping things ‘pumped up’ in the relationship department too! So, if you’re ready to laugh your way to fitness, Sharon is the way to go – just remember to bring a sense of humor and a towel for those beachy workouts!

I absolutely adore my job at Buddha Pants for a multitude of reasons. First and foremost, I have a deep passion for sustainability and conscious living, and working at Buddha Pants allows me to align my personal values with my professional life. It's incredibly fulfilling to be part of a company that prioritizes ethical and eco-friendly practices, from their materials to their manufacturing processes. Moreover, the atmosphere at Buddha Pants is one of creativity, collaboration, and positivity, which makes each day at work a true pleasure. I also love the feeling of helping our customers embrace mindful and comfortable living by providing them with products that are not only incredibly comfortable but also versatile and stylish. It's a joy to be a part of a team that shares this vision, and to see the impact we make on people's lives by promoting a more sustainable, comfortable, and eco-conscious lifestyle through our products. Working at Buddha Pants is more than just a job; it’s a harmonious blend of my passions and values, making it an absolute dream career.
