About
Clyde is a label designed by Dani Griffiths. She grew up in Vancouver, Canada and moved to New York City in 2008. Dani exercised her aptitude for fashion as a buyer and merchandiser while cultivating the roots of Clyde. The collection began as a range of hats that are blocked by hand in New York, and has steadily evolved to include gloves sewn by a family-owned legacy company in Italy, fabric and leather hats sewn in Manhattan and Los Angeles, and bags made in an artisanal New Jersey workshop.
Sharp yet classic and smartly cultivated, Clyde has caught the attention of distinguished publications such as Vogue, WWD, Harpers Bazaar, The New York Times, T Magazine, WSJ etc.
The collections possess a sculptural beauty while maintaining a straightforward wearability. This balance perfected by hand finishes and considered designs that are reworked season after season. Inclusivity and ethics are firmly rooted in the world of Clyde, which employs mostly female-owned producers and tailors, and believes that there should be space for every age, gender, and ethnicity to feel comfortable and embraced in the world of high fashion. Clyde aspires to not only be a part of the wearer’s story, but to help tell it by encouraging individual experiences that can, in turn, impart personal meaning to each and every piece.
