The Good Stuff
Light gymwear
Oversized t-shirts, biker shorts and leggings have been comfortable in hot weather without feeling itchy or heavy.
Eco materials
Reviews specifically mention organic cotton and recycled fabrics, matching the brand’s sustainable positioning.
Gift help
Staff can guide shoppers through colours and options when buying a gift, making the choice less complicated.
Fast delivery
One online shopper received an order the next day and found the app convenient and easy to use.

The store is described as spacious, with clear visibility of the items and most of the collection available.
Tips for a Better Visit
Check care. Before buying sweaters, ask about washing instructions; one reviewer said a Large shrank two sizes and handwashing was expected.
Review returns. Check the return and exchange rules before ordering, especially for gifts or purchases near the 14-day limit.
Try sizing. Try items on or confirm measurements carefully, since one gift order was too small and could not be exchanged directly.
Dress for heat. For Dubai wear, ask whether lighter or thinner materials are available; some shoppers found heavier pieces unsuitable for hot weather.
Check availability. If you want a specific collection item, confirm stock before travelling because one requested apparel piece was unavailable online and in-store.

The Bottom Line
The Giving Movement is a homegrown athleisure and streetwear clothing store in Al Barsha, with a range that includes cotton t-shirts, oversized tees, biker shorts and leggings. Reviews make the everyday basics the clearest draw: shoppers describe the t-shirts as soft, breathable and relaxed without looking sloppy, while the shorts and leggings feel comfortable even in hot weather. Organic cotton and recycled fabrics also feature in customer descriptions, supporting the brand’s sustainability and charity-focused identity.
The in-store experience is another consistent strength. Customers describe spacious displays, a good selection and patient help with colours, styles and sizing, including when choosing gifts. Online shoppers also mention next-day delivery and an easy-to-use app.
If you are buying a particular capsule or colour, check availability first: one Lebanon apparel item was sold out both online and in-store. There are important caveats around after-sales service and durability. Reviews mention a no-exchange policy, a strict 14-day return window and difficulty getting help with items that turned out to be too small.
Quality feedback is mixed: some customers report excellent, durable fabric, while others describe fraying, poor stitching or a sweater shrinking two sizes. Ask about care instructions and try items on where possible. Dubai’s heat is worth considering too, as one shopper wanted lighter, thinner materials and longer sleeves.
