The brief
The brand in a paragraph.
Vuori started in 2015 in California. Founder Jurbak built performance clothing for active people. They make athletic wear that bridges gym and street wear. The brand gained traction with their Metafit shorts, designed for movement and everyday wear. Vuori expanded beyond basics into full athletic lines. Today they operate across the United States and Europe. The company tracks across 21,133 brands, ranking sixth in Fashion and Footwear. Their clothes avoid heavy branding. Function drives design more than logos. Vuori appeals to people who run, train, and live active lives. Retailers stock their pieces alongside luxury athletic brands. The company remains privately held, growing through direct sales and wholesale partnerships. Their approach treats athletic wear as simple clothing, not fashion statement.
