Sustainability & Creativity

Clov and Valor is a handmade, upcycled clothing and art brand based in the U.S. that focuses on unique one-of-a-kind pieces. We transform reclaimed textiles into collectable and wearable art. Clov and Valor started from a shared love of thrifting and a mission to rescue forgotten textiles. We believe that discarded fabrics still hold unique potential, and we take pride in turning them into one-of-a-kind pieces that tell a new story. What began as a small experiment with old unworn clothes has grown into a dedicated clothing studio right here in the U.S. focused on ethical craftsmanship. Each garment we create is a testament to the beauty of sustainable fashion.

CV Staff

Hi! My name is Erika, and I am the founder of Clov and Valor. What began as B&E's Crafts & Clothing at our local farmers market evvolved into a growing creative brand centered around upcycled art, fashion, and self expression. 

 

I grew up dancing and earned my Bachelor of Art in Dance from Winthrop University before continuing into a professional performance career in theme parks. While pursuing my performance career I worked as a server in restaurants as my survival job. In 2025 I realized I was no longer feeling fulfilled in my service job so I left the restaurant industry and decided to fully dedicate myself to creating work that feels meaningful, fulfilling, and creatively driven.

​

Through Clov and Valor I combine my background in performance, design, and handmade artistry to create original pieces that reflect individuality, creativity, and passion. Thank you so much for being here and supporting my small business!
