Former Under Armour exec builds local brand of her own

A former Under Armour Inc. executive is looking to take a locally founded clothing brand into resorts and country clubs across the country. Christine Maly, an apparel industry veteran, bought Spunkwear in 2021 after returning from four years working for Under Armour in Amsterdam. Spunkwear, a women’s apparel company, was founded by a lacrosse mom who sold the clothing at her children’s tournaments, but Maly has taken the brand to the next level by leaning into wholesale.
