ABOUT Carita House - Still fit 40 years on! Doesn't time fly when you're successful? It's hard to believe that 40 years have passed since Hazel and Kaj Carstensen set up their business to sell specialist Danish leotards and gym pants by mail order Operating from a garden shed in 'the back of beyond' Carita House soon became popular with gymnasts and fitness enthusiasts who appreciated the quality, style and the unique 'Carite®' fit which really stood up to the action. The range, and the fame grew without frontiers. Leading the field in design and innovation, Carita House were the FIRST in the UK with coloured and patterned leotards. Performance meets style at Carita House with new materials including Stretch Cotton and Silkskin, a name coined by Hazel herself, inspired by the way the material fitted like a second skin! Developed by Bayer Dorlastan this is still the softest and stretchiest material available for Gymnasts and fitness people alike. It was no surprise then that the likes of Olga Korbut and The Green Goddess would only wear Carita House leotards. Over the years the range has been promoted directly into many organisations, British Gymnastics, Medau, Keep Fit, LHB, Margaret Morris to name but a few. Carita House is now a truly international affair.
