KUERU translates to “skin”  in Papiamentu, our native tongue on the island of Curaçao.

We chose this name intentionally, as it reflects how our designs effortlessly complement the body in a way that flows naturally, as if they are a part of the wearer.

KUERU was founded to merge Caribbean influences with modern, sustainable premium resort wear, with the mission of putting Curaçao on the global fashion map. Each collection celebrates confidence, femininity, luxury and beauty while honouring well-being through natural, high-quality fabrics.

Our designs embrace feminine curves and are thoughtfully proportioned to flatter a wide range of body types, including taller silhouettes. The Caribbean serves as our foundational inspiration, but creativity flows from global beauty, nature, and culture. 

“Our debut collection, Las Bellas Flores, begins with the Azalea dress, the first chapter that sets the tone for premium feminine design that transcends the garment. This collection is a heartfelt tribute to my grandmother, who was the president of a women’s club of the same name in Curaçao and devoted her life to uplifting women and her community. Through KUERU, I carry forward her legacy by crafting sustainable luxury pieces that connect women to something deeper than garments, pieces rooted in heritage, love, and empowerment.
