What does Cleobella do?

Cleobella is a California-based sustainable fashion and accessories brand founded in 2006 by Angela O’Brien. The company focuses on ethical handmade production, collaborating with artisans in India and Bali. Cleobella uses 100% organic or natural fibers and implements zero-waste practices. A portion of proceeds is donated to various causes, including environmental support and women's empowerment. Inspired by O’Brien’s travels, Cleobella offers a range of products, including hand-tooled leather bags, woodblock-printed dresses, and resort wear. The brand emphasizes a slow fashion model, ensuring each piece is unique and crafted with care. Key offerings include the Mexicana clutch and a Mommy-and-Me capsule line. Cleobella partners with retailers like Planet Blue, Fred Segal, and ShopBop, and maintains a boutique in Sunset Beach. The brand is dedicated to eco-friendly practices and fostering artisan prosperity, connecting consumers directly with the artisans who create their products.
