Kirby Cove Active was created for the in-between moments—the quiet hikes, the spontaneous stretches, the coffee runs and couch hangs.
We believe being active isn’t about performance or pressure. It’s about feeling good in your body, your clothes, and your life.
The name comes from a tucked-away beach just beneath the Marin Headlands, hidden from the noise of the city. A short hike down opens up to sweeping views of the Golden Gate Bridge—a little escape that feels both energizing and grounding. That spirit of ease and discovery is at the heart of everything we create.
Founded in 2020 by a Northern California designer with deep roots in textile design and a longtime love for movement and the outdoors, Kirby Cove Active blends technical expertise with a lived-in love for hiking, yoga, cycling, and slowing down. With years spent designing for major and emerging brands alike, our founder brings a rich background in activewear, materials, and thoughtful design to every piece.
Kirby Cove Active was born in a moment of global stillness—but it never stopped moving. What began as a creative outlet became a small-batch brand rooted in comfort, functionality, and soul. We work slow, we dye and customize locally, and we produce intentionally—making pieces that feel good to wear, and good to live in.
Designed and produced intentionally—never mass made.
Every piece is hand-finished with care, right here in California.
Comfort, quality, and durability that stand the test of time.
Apparel that moves with you—wherever life takes you.
This is apparel made for the recreationally active—for those who move for joy, for peace of mind, for their own reasons. For the ones who feel most alive in motion, outside, and off the grid.
Welcome to Kirby Cove Active. We’re glad you found us.
Thanks for being here. Every order supports a small, scrappy, creative vision—and it means the world.
