Elephtheria!

When shopping for clothes, quality and comfort, are the sub-details, that will always play on your mind.  And as they should!  And these factors, have clearly been considered by Elephtheria when bringing together their first collection for Clasp Clothing.

The brand brings together innovative designs, and blends contemporary fashion with all the beautiful aspects of fashion that we love.  For example....chiffon!  When I saw this beautiful blue chiffon print top, I fell in love.  A beautiful elegant fabric, that drapes over your body and compliments your body.  The colour was inspired by a wintery blue, and looks truly gorgeous with a tan belt.  The top is priced at £80.00, and will take you from the wintery blue months, right through to summer, when you're looking for something floaty and light to hang over your bikini!

The designers truly took what Clasp were looking for, and delivered stunning pieces, to fit the season.  Gorgeous colour blends and
beautiful fabric, means you really are investing in key pieces. 



One massive pet peeve of mine...are maxi skirts, that aren't maxi!  Long flowing skirts, that don't fully hit the floor, and leave that annoying gap.  That's why I'll be keeping one of the salmon pink maxi skirt from their collection for myself!  Floor sweeping, and truly figure hugging, it creates a gorgeous silhouette and looks elegantly chic with everything!  I can't wait to wear mine with a cream silk vest, and loose drape cardigan.  This skirt is priced at just £42.00, and we have limited stock, so do get in touch if you wish to reserve a skirt prior to site launch! 



Elephtheria have a beautiful way of taking fabrics, and creating elegantly casual pieces.  Comfortable clothes, that can slipped on, and suddenly your body has been transformed.  Perfect for a Sunday morning stroll, and perfect for a late night of cocktails.  Truly a designer to keep an eye on...Don't forget to keep an eye out on http://www.claspclothing.co.uk/ on launch day, to view the full collection!

At Clasp Clothing, we'll be making a lot of changes and a lot updates on a frequent basis.  So please go to http://eepurl.com/eSE0g and sign up for the newsletter!  Be the first to hear when a new designer is signed up, and grab your discount codes!

Introducing Sydney Simpson!

Eclectic Creations:  A gorgeous, romantic company headed by the talented jewellery designer Sydney Simpson.  Created in February 2010, and built up by herself, we can see Sydney bring new and more awe inspiring jewellery on an almost daily basis.

I met Sydney back in February and after a lot of discussions about what we wanted for Clasp, she put together a truly beautiful, vintage inspired collection, full of colour and charm.  To say I was blown away, is a massive understatement.  She was able to bring together beautiful trinkets, gorgeous colours and stunning elegance to create jewellery that is both fun, stylish and overall beautiful.



Eclectic really is the best way to describe her style, and using vintage trinkets and charms, means she is always full of even more inspiration, which is why she even offers to create custom pieces if need be.  So if you have something in mind, that you can't find on our site please do contact us on contact@claspclothing.co.uk


One of the most key pieces put forward to Clasp Clothing, by Sydney, was a gorgeous silver charm bracelet, inspired by the charity, Womankind.  A delicate chain, offset by red, pink and silver charms, creates a stunning piece of jewellery to compliment any dress down day.  Priced at only £10.00, you can order yours once the site goes live, or again by emailing us to pre-order yours.

Other items put forward, include floral earrings, stunning rose gold necklaces, and antique owl chains.  And remember, all these items, are unique to Clasp Clothing.

Karina Hesketh


  Karina Hesketh...a true inspiration as to what a designer should be about. 

Based in Newcastle-Upon-Tyne, but being sold all around the globe, Karina is an experienced and talented bag maker, that creates unique, beautiful pieces taking inspiration from 1930's vintage frames.


We know how important exclusivity is to Clasp, and that is one thing that drew us massively to Karina.  She is known for never using a certain pattern, more than ten times, and for ensuring each piece is beautifully unique.  Best of all, she doesn't scrimp on quality.  Fine leather interiors, with a thicker hide, ensure a sturdy bag, which is still beautifully soft.  And with each bag being decorated by gorgeous items from across the world, some even dating back to 1910, we can ensure an individual, inspirational piece of work, to compliment any outfit.
Karina started her fashion career at a very young age, even spending time working on theatrical fashion.  This may be why she is gifted to give each of her pieces, the beautiful flair that makes them stand out.  Her talent and attention to detail, then led her to begin her own company, "Arrivee Peau". Creating beautiful leather and silk clothing, she created a stunning range of gorgeously constructed clothing, with one piece even being purchased by Princess Caroline, from a shop in Monaco!


With inspiration from Russian artists, Marlene Deitrich and Elsa Schiaparelli, you are sure to own a piece that captures a true love of fashion. 

And why not own a wonderful piece of fashion, designed by the same woman who created garments for both Annie Lennox and Aretha Franklin!
