It’s that time of the year again where we spend it with friends and family that matter most to us and take a breather before the new year. Between all the celebratory drinks, the never ending festive spreads and exchange of gifts, it’s also a time for us to look back at our milestones in 2017 before starting fresh in 2018. Here at CLOT, we had a huge year full of collaborations, events, pop up stores and exciting new brands added to the family at our Juice stores worldwide. Here’s a rundown of all the cool things that went down this year.
