So all Clair Couture’s pieces tells a story about one of them, hopping their example inspire women to be brave, happy and true to themselves! As we all should be.

In addition, the brand gives tribute to the nobel art of couture. All pieces are made in an artisan way, making sure that the bases of couture are there. So the cuts are thought to be elegante and to enhance the female figure. Materials are of high quality, seams are made to be impeccable, the attention to detail is extremely important. In other words, the quality in the production system is a must have for us. Our purpose is to make luxury affordable and make women feel as a true gem.

Taking this in mind, it is always important too make pieces that are practical and comfortable for several social occasions, work events and even the day to day.

MEET THE FOUNDER

Joana Macedo
Founder, CEO & Creative Director

Hi, my name is Joana Macedo and I’m a Microbiologist, a PR and a Fashion Designer. This was my journey to find my happiness and fulfillment in what I do in life.

My aim is to motivate you to follow your dreams, to improve your self confidence and to make you feel happy everyday in your life, by making clothes that will give that boost and the power to achieve anything.

I’ve created Clair Couture from scratch. Didn’t know how to sew a button, didn’t have any knowledge of the industry, just have a huge will to make it happen. I went and learned how to design clothes, how to cut them and sew them. Little by little I’ve became better and faster. For several years I was the one making all the clothes, managing social media and all the needs of the brand.

This story is to make you believe it is possible. The conditions may not be the perfect ones, your team may not exist but if you’re welling this will come to life.
