{WHAT’S IN A NAME?}
That question get’s asked time and time again-and the answer is that it’s a name taken from a poem by Sappho.

{Sleep, darling I have a small daughter called Cleis, who is like a golden flower.}

The name references the daughter of Sappho, but to us it conjures inspiration. A rousing of unique/individual creativity. The formation of a concept into a fully materialized action.
