OUR TRUE LOVE STORY

Born out of pure passion for creativity, the brand started off with our founder’s ability to turn pieces of fabrics and leather into unique pieces of wearable art. The brand started making uniquely stylish timeless pieces of reversible jackets for corporate women using unique and purposefully curated signature designs. These luxurious pieces were mainly to help corporate women travel light on their busy travelling schedules while maintaining their African inspired stylish looks without compromising their preferred contemporary appearances. Our classic pieces were boldly embraced and worn by the cultured woman and man who knows exactly who they are and are proud of it. 

Confident enough about the brand, our founder named Clatural after herself; an ode to the authentic woman who is clothed in style, confidence and pride in her originality, colour, gender and culture. 

From sourcing fabrics in local markets, to training workers with employable skills and passionately investing into the youth and women on whose backs Ghanaian communities are built, we are spreading independence and sustainability whiles ensuring better lifestyle for all of our employees.

At Clatural we pride ourselves in the fact that our products are 80% handmade from carefully selected fabrics, sourced locally and  our products are ethically sustainable.  Clatural is eco-friendly and has a zero-waste philosophy. We are conscious of our environment and ethical sustainability is our hallmark. In effect any time you buy Clatural, you are not only supporting our brand, you are also supporting the economic empowerment of women from whom we source are beautiful, unique and good quality fabrics, offering employment to many young and talented women who we train and employ and also protecting our environment and the world at large.
