We were sat round the dining room table discussing and wondering how we could incorporate unusual, unique, new and exciting products for women into our existing website www.specialexpressions.co.uk . It was decided that this would not happen and Clara's Loft was conceived. About the time of the launch of the latest Tomb Raider game - I was Google searching Lara Croft and by mistake typed Clara Loft - this still led to Tomb Raider. As a fan of Lara Croft and the Tomb Raider games and films we thought "what a great name for a website"

Lara Croft's personality and character is one of fearlessness with an independent spirit. She is athletic and has a dogged determination to reach her goals. Lara is interesting because she is perceived in different ways by different people. She is the heroine and the anti-hero all in one. She is ultimately a tomb raider and an adventurer. Lara was never meant to be portrayed as a traditional bimbo vixen kind of woman.

The products we are retailing on Clara's Loft are for the females, ladies, women who like to have something different in their wardrobe and jewellery box and will include:

  • The African Butterfly -' hair clips that are probably the most innovative product ever of their kind' There are several patents, designs and applications for these products throughout the world, so be assured that you have the original beaded hair clip!! This comb comes with a one year guarantee because of it's Strength, Quality and Durability. This is a very upmarket product made for the shortest and thinnest of hair as well as the longest and thickest of hair. Hand beaded by Africans. Made in South Africa.

  • Micro Tops by DeManiss & More - "The Shirt That Grows With You" It brings new meaning to the phrase 'One Size Fits All' - a single Top tailored for anyone from a baby to an outsized adult. The versatile top is baby size when it's not being worn. But the fabric, which is manufactured in China, is exceptionally springy and can stretch to fit a size 20/22. The Micro Top is available in a strappy, sleeveless, short sleeve, long sleeve, cardigan, and many more styles with different colours. Because its design is naturally crinkled, it doesn't have to be ironed. Absolutely WONDERFUL for taking on holiday - takes up hardly any room in the suitcase. The Micro Tops appeal to a very wide market and are very stylish. 'From Baby to Lady'. More tops and skirts that will fit all sizes made by various designers.
