Cleobella

Cleobella is a California-based fashion brand characterized by a bohemian aesthetic and global artisanal influences. The brand emphasizes ethical manufacturing and traditional craftsmanship. Its collections represent a subculture focused on sustainable luxury, utilizing hand-woodblock printing and intricate embroidery to create vintage-inspired silhouettes.

History

Angela and Jim O’Brien founded Cleobella in 2006 following a year of global travel. The brand established its production headquarters in Bali, Indonesia, to collaborate directly with local artisans. This partnership model prioritizes the preservation of traditional heritage techniques within the modern garment industry. Cleobella contributed to the rise of the boho-chic movement in the mid-2000s and remains a significant example of the shift toward transparent, small-batch production cycles in contemporary fashion.
