Our Story
In the heart of Kibera, Nairobi's largest slum, a young girl named Vivian shared her dream: buying a car to help her family. Her resilience and unwavering hope ignited something inside our founder, Nina, and set the foundation for what would become Kibra, a brand born from a moment of profound inspiration and a desire to empower every woman to embrace her powerful self.
Kibra is not just a name: it is a symbol of strength, hope, and determination. It stands for the belief that every woman is Different but Beautiful and deserves activewear that celebrates her individuality while offering the performance, style, and comfort she needs to conquer her journey. Inspired by the timeless elegance of the Mediterranean and the spirit of resilience in women from all walks of life, Kibra redefines the activewear experience for women everywhere.
At Kibra, we do not just make clothes, we foster a global sisterhood. Our brand is built on the belief that fashion should be a source of empowerment, no matter where she is from or what challenges she faces. We stand for diversity, inclusivity, and sustainability, embracing every woman’s journey as she grows, evolves, and becomes her best self.
We want to reach her: a confident, creative woman who is wholeheartedly herself, whether she is soaking up the sunrise on a morning run, reading a book in a cozy cafe, hiking up a mountain trail, or unwinding at home with a cup of tea. She is vibrant and active, embracing every moment life offers, from work to travel to spontaneous weekend getaways. Comfortable in her own skin, she celebrates diversity in both her personal style and the people she surrounds herself with.
She loves to express herself through fashion that is as versatile as she is. Where elegance meets performance, and Mediterranean-inspired details add timeless beauty to everything she wears. On the tennis court, she enjoys the game in a stylish skirt that offers both flexibility and flair, while on the golf course, she perfects her swing in an active dress that moves with her. She might layer on a sleek active jacket for a yoga session with friends, throw on an effortlessly chic sweater for brunch with family, or slip into a pair of high-performance leggings for a run. And, no matter where she is headed, her clothes will make her feel empowered, connected, and ready to take on the world.
At Kibra, we design with her in mind, offering versatile pieces that reflect her unique spirit, support her individuality, and fuel her confidence. Whether she is blending bold colors or choosing minimalist styles, our collections empower her to move through life freely, whether she is achieving her fitness goals, navigating work challenges, or embracing new adventures.
Through Kibra, we strive to inspire a sisterhood of women who embrace their individuality and power, who believe in their dreams, and who are committed to making a difference in the world. We believe that every woman has the strength to change the narrative, to break the mold, and to live her truth with confidence.
And just like that young girl in Kibera, who dared to dream big, we hope Kibra will inspire you to chase your dreams, embrace your journey, and celebrate your unique beauty, because with Kibra, we believe that you are different, but you are beautiful.
