CAES

Designer Helen de Kluiver founded CAES in 2019 with an optimistic objective: to produce garments that embrace the wearer with a caring, sheltering layer. Conscious of its carbon footprint, the Amsterdam-based label seeks to slow the pace of the fashion industry by foregoing the traditionally seasonal cycle, instead crafting chic, wearable closet staples designed to be cherished with age. Classic, comfortable basics arrive in the brand’s signature neutral palette to elevate existing wardrobes. Oversized organic cotton tees, ballerina-inspired ribbed knits, flowing jersey dresses, snug merino wool pullovers, and timeless tailored trousers combine simplicity and ingenuity. Working closely with select manufacturing partners and family-owned factories in Portugal, the brand emphasizes transparency in its supply chain and dignity for its artisans. CAES’s expertly designed minimal womenswear presents a new generation of sustainable luxury and essential basics.
