Two sisters.
Long days on our feet.
We're Carol and Kim, two sisters who started TheBlackPurple in 2014.
Carol was a nurse. Kim was a flight attendant. Different jobs, same long days on our feet. As we got older, our legs felt heavier and more tired by the end of every shift.
We tried compression garments. They were hard to pull on, harder to take off, and uncomfortable after a few hours. The fabrics felt stuck in the past. Getting dressed was a workout on its own.
We've both left those jobs now. But we've never forgotten how those days felt.
Made for the woman getting dressed at 6 a.m.
Before shapewear became a celebrity trend, we were making it for real women. Not supermodels, actresses or influencers. Women with shifts to finish, families to care for, and somewhere to be.
No camera crew. No red carpet. Just a full day ahead, and something that feels good for all of it.
That's how
Mass & Slim was born
Mass & Slim stands for Massage & Slim. Our collection includes shorts, shapewear leggings, compression leggings and a waist shaper, with comfort at the heart of every design.
The secret is our 3D fabric, embedded with Tourmaline® beads. As you move, it gives a gentle micro-massage that helps support circulation while it smooths, shapes and lifts as you wear it.
