About the Designer
Claire Flowers, a St. Louis native, is a visionary designer dedicated to redefining professional women's footwear and apparel. With a passion for innovation, durability, and classic design, Claire has built a brand that seamlessly blends function and fashion.
Before entering the fashion industry, Claire had a successful career in IT, specializing in supply chain logistics and software sales. It was during a business trip to New York City that she recognized a critical gap in the market—women’s shoes that were both stylish and durable enough to withstand the demands of a professional lifestyle. This realization led her to take a bold leap, leaving her full-time corporate role to establish Claire Flowers LLC in 2014.
Since its inception, Claire Flowers has gained recognition for its commitment to quality craftsmanship and timeless style. Initially focusing on closed-toe pumps, the brand quickly became known for its high standards in fit and comfort. However, when the COVID-19 pandemic shifted fashion trends towards more casual and versatile styles, Claire demonstrated remarkable agility by expanding her product line to include handbags, sneakers, and other accessories. Her ability to adapt and innovate has been instrumental in the brand’s continued success.
Claire’s dedication extends beyond her brand; she is deeply committed to mentorship and philanthropy. She serves on several boards and supports organizations such as The American Red Cross, Fathers and Families Support Center, The Take Part Foundation, and The Humane Society of Missouri. Through these efforts, she continues to uplift and inspire others on their paths to success. Looking ahead, Claire envisions continued growth for her brand, aiming to strengthen its presence in existing markets while expanding into new ones. With a steadfast commitment to quality, timeless design, and resilience, Claire Flowers remains at the forefront of modern professional fashion, providing women with pieces that are as enduring as they are elegant.
