Manufacturing Process

Part of our team is dedicated exclusively to manufacturing and based in the workshop year-round, allowing us to conduct our activity without intermediaries. 

Managing our entire production chain with careful quality control is a unique and beneficial format in the sneaker industry. Our workshop is, of course, duty-bound to respect the current local labor laws and regulations.

CLAE x KX Lab

CLAE is pleased to unveil the brand’s first-ever sneaker made in Los Angeles. The Louie features elements of comfort crafted with sustainable, vegan knit materials and is made by newly-opened KX Lab, the first technologically advanced knit manufacturing facility in Los Angeles.

The partnership with KX Lab offers CLAE a new way to create a more sustainable shoe while enabling the brand to design, develop, and produce products under one roof.

Made in Los Angeles

This is just a sampling of friends around LA who are making culture, pushing sustainability and building community from hospitality, architecture, and retail.
