our story
In the spring of 2020, when the world seemed to have turned upside down, I found myself desperately seeking a refuge. It all began with tennis, a flirtation with paddle, and before I knew it, I was head over heels for pickleball. These sports became my sanctuary, a glimmer of hope.
Serving my shots on the court, I couldn't help but notice that while most men had it easy, wearing shorts with pockets, effortlessly stashing their balls. In contrast, we ladies, or anyone pocketless, were left with awkward choices – cramming balls into athletic skirts or, even more awkward, tucking them into our tops. Not exactly comfy or chic!
Drawing upon my background in fashion design and engineering, I was determined to fix this wrong. After months of trial and error, testing with fellow players, and a whole lot of determination, the Isabel Martin serving pouch was born.
IM Isabel Martin is mindfully crafted using the highest quality eco-friendly recycled fabric which lies flat against an adjustable waistband (yes, one size fits all). using the softest quality elastic and an easy-to-adjust buckle. It's available in a spectrum of fashionable fabrics and colors, allowing all players to showcase their unique style on the court. This is where fashion merges with function.
IM Isabel Martin is dedicated to my dad, Martin, who passed away during the COVID-19 pandemic. His wisdom and unwavering optimism will forever be etched in my heart.
