WHY THE BEE?
The Bee Is Cecily Clune's Logo, Talisman And Statement
The Bee is a Rich Motif
“Of air-born honey, gift of heaven, I now Take up the tale. …" Vergil Georgics IV
In history and literature, bees are a symbol of hard work, perfect organization, and the ideal community. They also represent prosperity and personal fulfilment and their importance to mankind is beyond measure.
Bees are also beautiful.
All Cecily Clune products carry a bee symbol because we aim to engender these qualities.
We believe handbags should be beautiful, practical and work with its owner as a piece of wearable art.
Our Mission
Cecily Clune, with every design, strives to create the ideal bag – one that is practical, made from natural and durable materials, does not shout its brand, has the highest craftsmanship and above all is beautiful yet has the perfect form for its function.
Cecily Clune products are designed to work hard and be beautiful at the same time – much like bees.
Now can you see why we chose the bee?
