In 2014 Chloe launched her Millinery business introducing luxury handcrafted collection of hats to the market. Paving the way as East Africa's renowned Milliner with her hats and headpieces gracing the presence at high flying events such as royal weddings, investitures and being donned on heads across the world she made a name for herself through her meticulous attention to detail with all her pieces being crafted by hand. From the shaping, stitching and individual trimmings they brought a character to each piece boosting confidence and adding a new persona to anyone who wore them.
However, like many businesses around the world, Covid had an impact on the market across Kenya and East Africa and unfortunately affected the demand for fashionable hats. Like many fashion trends making a comeback through the ages, Chloe has no doubt the hat market will bloom back in the fullness of time. For now however, with the demand lowered she will be taking a step back from the production of her hats but still has a large stock to offer.
In 2023 playing with her nieces and two very special and influential little people in her life, she had the dream to launch a new business putting her hands to use and creating something special that a child could treasure. This dream kick started her collection of dolls. Each one unique, just as the hats, with their own characters - a toy any child would love to either play with or collect.
Wishing to expand and reach a wider clientele while still wanting to stay in the fashion world she launched the 'New Leather (Cork)' collection into the market providing a more animal friendly, attractive option to people for bags, wallets and other items.
Adding to her range she then began her one of a kind greeting cards and art. Concentrating on serene landscapes and blessings of nature she aims to capture detail when she puts a brush to a canvas.
The collective is growing and is something to keep an eye on in the future.
