The Clifton Collection was founded by Capetonian Silvana Bottega.

Her summers on Clifton Beach stayed with her through her life and through her travels as a “place of memory”. All her life, she has celebrated and supported the development of artisans and artists in South Africa. Sylvana has a passion for accelerating skills development and this has seen her help to build awareness around the craftsmanship and skills available in South Africa.

Behind every great product is a moment of inspiration. For Clifton, this was it.

Warm summer days lying by a pristine, fresh, aquamarine sea that refreshes like no other. Sunrise walks along the Cape’s best beach, Clifton, with a gentle breeze in the protected cove invigorating one’s skin with the damp, sweet-salty mist of the sea.

• Clifton Gin has been carefully crafted after numerous trials to result in an elixir that was award-winning with its first release on both gins by master distiller, Kobus Gelderblom.
