kuta distance l.ab is a running studio from Stockholm. We craft running apparel that prioritizes function, quality, and local production. built to last, tested in motion, and shaped by the environments we run in.

As an innovation-driven studio, we offer an alternative to the mainstream. We don’t chase trends or rapid cycles, we focus on thoughtful creation and long-term performance.

We believe distance isn’t just about how far you go, it’s about the mindset you bring. We position ourselves in the white spot where distance is not the sheer stretch, but an opportunity - that’s where we play.

At the core of everything we do is responsibility. We’re committed to making better decisions every day, for people and the planet. This means staying accountable, continuously evolving, and always running with purpose.

crafted with care and intention

we are dedicated to creating garments with quality, sustainability, and purpose at their
core.

by producing only in small batches and on demand, we minimise waste and maintain full
control over the process from design to delivery. this hands-on approach allows us to work
closely with artisans, to field-test prototypes locally, and to guarantee that our products are
crafted to last and perform longer. we strongly believe that well tested functionality triumph
over engineered solutions.

our garments are responsibly produced in Sweden, the brand’s home country, through
partnerships with small-scale suppliers ensuring production craftsmanship and ethical
labor practices according to our values. when local production isn’t possible, we carefully
source manufacturing possibilities in nearby countries until a local solution is found.

we’re in it for the long run.
