FAST IS PAST. Plenty of options to turn fabrics and leather from sleeping stocks into beautiful accessories. At our own pace. We believe our products outlast the rhythm of fashion seasons. At CLINCH we commit to not buying new leather. We'll use our existing stock and only buy from sleeping stocks. This results in small batches and limited colour availability. But we believe this is the right thing to do. We design our products with care so that you can enjoy them for years. We repair your CLINCH products too. Mix & match your timeless CLINCH accessories and make it yours.
OLD BUT GOLD. At CLINCH, we UPCYCLINCH unused and forgotten products, think of old fur coats or vintage handstitched tapestries. All products that are no longer in use can be a fun challenge to create new accessories. We collect unwanted products and give them a new life. Let's visit granny, we might find some old napkin or tablecloth to UPCYCLINCH ;-)
CÉLÉBRER LA LIBERTÉ CRÉATIVE. Composing with leather, fabrics, tapestries, denim, threads, words and messages, and forgotten craftmanswork. In fact, anything we stumble upon by chance that moves and inspires us.
MADE BY HAND. All of our unique pieces are handmade in our atelier in Antwerp, they feature as one of a kind pieces or are made in small batches, depending on the the materials we work with. Fun accessories, make it yours!
MAKING LOOPS. Our chainstitch machine is entirely hand-operated—no screens, no pre-programmed designs. Every stitch is guided by hand, loop by loop, giving each piece a unique, hand-drawn feel.
Learning the craft took time and patience, but now we can “write” in Clinch’s own handwritten script.
We love exploring how this old technique can be used in a contemporary way, offering custom messages on simple napkins that become truly one of a kind.
For us, embroidery is about more than then finished design. It’s about honouring a craft and creating pieces that bring joy to others.
