Marian Clayden operates her business from the small town of Los Gatos, in northern California, just south of San Francisco, and nestled at the base of the picturesque Santa Cruz Mountains.
Marian Clayden Inc, is a small family-owned company with people from eleven nations around the world that proudly combine their talents to create her special garments. Many of the fabrics are designed here and then woven or printed in Europe, predominantly France and Italy. But, before a garment can be cut, the fabric will often be hand-dyed, distressed, or painted again in the studio. The enriched fabric is then ready for cutting and sewing. Finally special trims, beads, and buttons that Marian finds throughout the world, are carefully added to complete another beautiful creation. All this work is performed by specially trained and highly experienced craftswomen, who dedicate their skills to making the finest quality garments for the most discriminating customer. Unlike much of today's throwaway fashion, the work is painstaking and labor intensive for the sole purpose of creating something wonderful that its owner will want to wear forever.
The company sells through better retailers throughout North America, and has in the past exported to Europe and Japan. There is also a small by-appointment retail operation at the company offices in Los Gatos, which you are welcome to visit if your are nearby. Please call ahead for an appointment - (408) 354-4747.
