KURV

Brand Book

How KURV looks, sounds, and feels.

This is the brand in the open. Our name, story, voice, palette, type, and the women we design for, written down so anyone touching KURV can carry it forward without losing the thread.

Last updated: May 2026

01 Brand Name

KURV is “Curve,” rewritten for this generation.

We took the word “curve” and made it ours. We stripped the vowel, sharpened the letters, and gave it a new identity. The result is a name that’s short, confident, and impossible to ignore, just like the women who wear it.

  • KUR: kinetic energy, movement, force in motion.
  • V: a visual anchor: strong, directional, unapologetic.

KURV doesn’t whisper. It walks in like it owns the room.

02 Brand Story

It started with frustration in a fitting room.

Tanny, the founder, loved working out: HIIT, Pilates, lifting, cycling. But every time she needed something to wear, she ran into the same wall. Standard sizes were too tight in the hips, too loose at the waist. Plus-size options covered everything up and forgot about style entirely.

The message from the industry was clear, even if unspoken: your body is the problem.

Tanny disagreed.

There was nothing wrong with her body. What was broken was an industry that kept designing without ever really seeing real women, mid-size women, “คนอวบ” women, women who were neither a small nor a plus, but absolutely everywhere.

So she built KURV. Not just to sell activewear. To build a Comfort Zone, a space where women can move, sweat, grab brunch, and exist fully, without squeezing into someone else’s idea of how they should look or feel.

We don’t hide figures. We don’t minimize them. We flaunt them, with premium fabrics, considered construction, and designs with the same energy as the women wearing them.

You were always the standard. We just finally made clothes that prove it.

03 Mission

To close the gap between how women feel in their clothes and how they deserve to feel, by making activewear that is premium, expressive, and built around them.

04 Vision

A world where every woman walks into a gym, a brunch, or anywhere in between, wearing something made for her, and feels it from the first moment she puts it on.

05 Core Values

Five things we will not compromise on.

  1. 01

    Comfort is the luxury.

    Not an afterthought. Not a tradeoff. Comfort is the foundation everything else is built on. If it doesn’t feel right, it doesn’t leave the studio.

  2. 02

    Empowerment by design.

    Every seam, every panel, every color choice is made with one question in mind: does this make her feel powerful? We don’t just clothe women. We give them a reason to walk taller, move freer, and show up fully as themselves.

  3. 03

    Unapologetic style.

    Bold colors. Strong silhouettes. Designs that say “I’m here.” We don’t do safe. We do you.

  4. 04

    Real community.

    KURV was born from a real problem, for a real community. We speak with our customers, not at them. Their bodies, their feedback, and their stories shape everything we make.

  5. 05

    Accessible luxury.

    Premium doesn’t have to mean exclusive. We obsess over fabric quality and construction so that the price point never becomes a reason to settle.

06 Tone of Voice

The confident, warm, direct best friend.

The one who hypes you up without being fake, calls things what they are, and never makes you feel like you need to shrink.

Personality

Confident
Direct statements. No hedging. No apologizing.
Warm
Speaks with the community, not at them.
Sassy
Has an edge. Doesn’t take itself too seriously.
Grounded
Honest. Real. Never performative.
Empowering
Lifts up without fixing or flattering.

07 Writing Rules

Five rules. Use them like a compass.

  1. 01

    Speak as “we,” address as “you.”

    Never third-person. Never distant. We’re in this together.

  2. 02

    Lead with feeling, follow with function.

    Lead with how it feels to wear it, then explain why the fabric or design delivers that.

  3. 03

    No fixing language.

    We don’t fix bodies. We make clothes for them.

  4. 04

    Short sentences hit harder.

    If it can be two sentences, make it two.

  5. 05

    Make it real.

    Specific is always better than vague. “Post-HIIT brunch at your favorite café” beats “active lifestyle.”

12 Imagery Style

Real women, real motion, real light.

Our photography captures women in motion, and in the moment after. Not posed. Not filtered. The clothes are the hero, the palette should be visible and dominant in every frame.

  1. Authentic & unretouched

    We photograph real women. No body reshaping. Just confident, joyful movement.

  2. Workout-to-Brunch

    Every shoot tells the story of a full day, the last set, then straight to the café counter. Same outfit, same confidence.

  3. Natural light, warm tones

    Avoid harsh studio lighting. We want sun, warmth, skin, and the feeling of a real morning.

  4. Strong but relaxed

    Power poses that feel effortless, not forced. Hands on hips because she’s catching her breath, not because a photographer asked.

  5. Color-led

    KURV’s palette should be visible and dominant in every image. The clothes are the hero.

13 Target Customer

Two women. One brand.

Persona 01

Nadia, The Social Athlete

29, Bangkok

Social and energetic, her workout schedule is also her social calendar. HIIT, spin, Hyrox events, she’s at all of them, and her friends are with her. She follows body-positive fitness creators and wants her activewear to be as bold and expressive as her personality. For Nadia, getting dressed for the gym is part of the experience. She’s not going to wear something that makes her feel like an afterthought.

Persona 02

Amelia, The Intentional One

33, Singapore

Her fitness routine is sacred “me time”: Pilates, yoga, or sessions with a personal trainer. She’s not interested in loud branding. She wants quality she can feel, fit she can trust, and pieces that carry through her whole day without needing to change. She invests intentionally in things that last and feel right.
