The past few days have been devastating. Families, wildlife, and entire neighborhoods have been displaced or destroyed. The places we call home, visit, and cherish have been forever changed. Our hearts are heavy as we grieve the losses. We are forever changed – jolted by the precariousness of life. To our fellow Angelenos, we send our deepest love, support, and condolences.

Los Angeles is our home. I always say to our team, somewhat lightheartedly, “there’s no ‘I’ in Clare V.” but one thing I do not take lightly is that there is no Clare V. without LA. From our offices and warehouse in Frogtown to our local factories, made up of skilled craftspeople, and our four stores across the city, every part of Clare V. is rooted here. This city – the light, natural beauty, creative community, and its hardworking people have been at the heart of our brand and our business and a source of continual inspiration. 

We are profoundly grateful to the Los Angeles Fire Department, first responders, and the courageous firefighters from across the country and Mexico who are risking everything to protect our city. This bravery and selflessness serves as a beacon of hope, inspiration, and a reminder of our commitment to each other.

Amidst this darkness, the strength and unity of our people shines through, reminding us of the resilience that defines Los Angeles. Though we may be scattered across this sprawling city, we have never felt closer to one another.

Je t’aime, Los Angeles
