RECYCLING PROJECT
From textile waste into handmade paper Slow Fashion is just one of the ways that makes KLEED a sustainable and conscious fashion brand. We are committed to reducing overconsumption and fighting overproduction. Our latest project is recycling our own textile waste, transforming it into handmade paper, that we can use for our Wash & Care labels . In our factories, every scrap of KLEED material is now set aside, during the cutting and sewing phases, packaged in cardboard boxes and sent for recycling. Recycling material is a lengthy and highly specialized process, and it has been honed and perfected in...
KLEED´S GUIDE TO JAIPUR
Start the day with a splash We recommend starting the day by splurging out on breakfast – either at the 28 Kothi boutique hotel or going all out and indulging in an incredibly luxurious feast at the Rambagh Palace Hotel, the 19th century palace and former home of the Maharaja Sawai Man Singh II and his wife. Tour the city like a local – on a bicycle We love cycling around the city, zipping through the traffic and taking in the sights and the scents of India. For the less adventurously inclined, the autorickshaw (similar to tuk-tuks) is also a...

RENEW. REBIRTH. RELIVE.
Summer 21 Lamu Island, Kenya Our Summer 21 collection brings us full circle – back to Africa, to the most elemental part of KLEED. Our birthplace, our source of inspiration. This part of Africa is where we are totally and utterly ourselves – stripped of the trappings of urban civilization, of the “sound and the fury”, the pollution, the daily grind and stress. Lamu island in Kenya embodies this most perfect state of renewal. Lamu town is Kenya’s oldest continually inhabited town, and the island is now listed as an UNESCO World Heritage site. A fascinating cultural hotpot of Arab,...
BACK TO AFRICA
This Summer 21 collection shoot literally erupted into our lives. We had planned meticulously for a more restrained location and shoot. Instead, a last-minute opportunity presented itself and we decided to grab it. Literally. A week-long frenzy of travel arrangements, talent scouting, location logistics ensued until we found ourselves, travel worn and stained, just this side of Paradise. Lamu Island. Bliss. Peace. Harmony. Reborn. Our Summer 21 collection brings us full circle – back to Africa, to the most elemental part of KLEED. Our birthplace, our source of inspiration. This part of Africa is where we are totally and utterly...
LIVING. LOVING. LOUNGING.
The last year has been a rollercoaster year for all of us. The world as we knew it literally stopped overnight. Our plans became meaningless, our future uncertain and most of us struggled to keep our lives afloat, in a semblance of normality - ourselves, our work, our families and our friendships. Messaging, video-calling, conference-calling, whatever-ing, to keep that human connection alive. Our network going. Our lives intact. One of the most fascinating changes in our new Working From Home lives (#WFH) was the paring down of our wardrobes. Less quantity, less variety, less accessories - less everything. Our capsule...
BEHIND THE SCENES WITH KLEED - OUR LAST COLLECTION SHOOT
We promised you sneak peeks at our Collection shoots. And here’s the first one – our AW collection was shot under this winter’s surreal, pandemic conditions. For the first time, we had to forgo the wonders of India or Africa: the intoxicating scents; the riot of colours; and our usual props and walk-on bit players – goats, camels or elephants. But, actually, it was no less magical and inspiring. Just three hours away from the city, we set up camp, to shoot our very special Thabo Collection. The whole theme of our AW collection was to infuse us all with...
