Founded in 2002 by Laura Bradford Godfrey, Claire V. designs unique handmade silk purses and accessories. While traveling in Southeast Asia, Laura witnessed the plight of villagers in Cambodia still suffering the devastation of genocide committed under the rule of the Khmer Rouge. Determined to make a difference in a country so beautiful and impoverished, Laura began Claire V. in the hope of aiding the local economy and the Cambodian people.
In a few short years, Claire V. has brought the beauty of handwoven silk to the United States and Europe. Through the convergence of Laura’s designs and centuries old craft traditions, Claire V. has remained true to its original mission while making a notable impact on the world of fashion.
Born of the belief that fashion and world consciousness can work hand-in-hand, Claire V. represents what happens when individuals with common beliefs join forces to realize a dream.
Among the products sold at Claire V. are shoulder bags, evening bags, handbags, and a variety of different accessories. Among these is the “Peace Elephant.” Sale of the elephant helps to provide Cambodian orphans with inoculations.
Many of the Claire V. handbags are handcrafted at training centers for land mine victims in Cambodia. A portion of Claire V.’s net proceeds is donated to education and health initiatives for women and children in Southeast Asia.
