The brand
The name CLAE comes from the word Clay, “clay” in English. This same raw material which is shaped by movements and emotions.
The brand was born in Los Angeles, this fascinating megalopolis of all contrasts which extends to infinity, raw, planted in the middle of sometimes wild nature.
From the Hollywood Hills to the beaches of Venice Beach and the Downtown District. Its architecture, its design, its colors, its elegance, are all the inspirations of the brand, which has worked hand in hand with the same workshop located in Ho Chi Minh in Vietnam for more than twenty years .
Thanks to true artisanal know-how, the products are high quality and durable. The leathers are exceptional, and the manufacturing process is in line with ecological and social commitments .
In the perpetual search to minimize the environmental footprint, Clae develops innovative materials from upcycling. They invest in research and development in order to offer sustainable and avant-garde materials from different domestic waste by offering them a new use, a second life.
Committed to offering a vegan alternative for their products, Clae offers 1/3 of its collection containing no components of animal origin. While having the desire to increase this quota which offers a sustainable alternative to traditional leather.
"CLAE is the story of an authentic passion for sneakers. It is also an ambition: to offer a collection with clean lines combining the finest materials, careful tailoring and innovative details. To offer timeless models while limiting our ecological footprint and creating a community that shares our values. The idea for our label was created in a minute, our brand was built in two decades."
