Our True Love Story

Born out of pure passion for creativity and the unwavering passion for women empowerment, 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 who are environmentally conscious, travel light on their busy travelling schedules while maintaining their African inspired stylish looks without compromising their preferred contemporary appearances. Our classic and uniquely timeless pieces are boldly embraced and worn by the cultured woman and man who knows exactly who they are and are proud to openly support eco-friendly and sustainable fashion.

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 whiles remaining socially and environmentally responsible.

At Clatural we pride ourselves in the fact that our products are 80% ethically  handmade from carefully selected fabrics,  fabric scraps and  our products are ethically sustainable.  Clatural is eco-friendly and we have a zero-waste philosophy. In effect any time you buy Clatural, you are not only supporting our brand, you are also supporting the economic empowerment of  many young and talented women who we train and employ and also protecting our environment and the world at large. 

 

 Our Founder 

 

 Clatural was formed by Clara Pinkrah-Sam in 2017, and she is the CEO and the Creative Director of the brand. Clara is a “multipotentialite” with diverse background which fascinates everyone. She is a practicing Pharmacist, a Medical Transcriptionist and an ICT Consultant with over two decades of working experience with the UNDP and the World Bank on both private and public sector projects. Clatural was born completely out of nurturing her hobby of creating unique and exciting designs out of fabrics.

Confident enough to name her brand after herself, Clara has immense confidence in the quality, comfortability and the uniqueness of her brand so much so that she wears Clatural EVERYDAY and is widely known for her hash tag #iwearme. It was not surprising that the  brand was awarded the Most Creative Brand and the Best Female Brand awards in 2021 by Ghana Fashion Awards and Honours.
