Our Story
Cerana began with a shared vision between three friends determined to create a lasting, positive impact on the fashion industry. Initially, Callum and Stefan often discussed sustainable, recyclable clothing as an idealistic concept. But in September 2023, during a month-long backpacking trip in Bali, Indonesia, this idea began to solidify. While there, Callum introduced Stefan to his uncle Jonathan, whom Stefan met for the first time. Jonathan had lived in Bali for over 15 years and built an incredible two-decade career in the clothing industry. Their conversations naturally turned to fashion, and Jonathan’s insight and deep experience ignited a spark to turn their shared vision into something real.
By January 2024, the timing was right. Jonathan had recently completed a series of large contracts, and Stefan invited him to join them as a partner. Together, the three founded Cerana!
A sustainable brand built on the principles of eco-consciousness, high quality, and ethical production. Their mission was clear: to create clothing that wouldn’t just be worn, but valued, while making a positive impact on the planet.
In the following months, the team absorbed themselves in every aspect of shaping Cerana’s identity. In August 2024, Stefan returned to Bali to experience the production process firsthand. From visiting manufacturers to observing the intricate processes of printing, dyeing, and sewing, he gained a deeper appreciation for the care and respect for the environment required to bring each Cerana piece to life. They selected a factory that aligned with Cerana’s values, ensuring that each piece would be crafted with a thoughtful, sustainable approach.
The core of Cerana’s strength lies in the diverse expertise each founder brings.
Callum is the strategic eye and organiser, with a knack for logistics, customer relations, and a meticulous attention to detail that keeps every operation running smoothly.
Jonathan, with his 20 years in the industry, is the creative heartbeat of Cerana. From design concepts to fabric choices, his talent and craftsmanship bring artistry and depth to every piece.
Stefan, the founder of a successful accountancy firm, provides the essential backbone to Cerana. His knowledge of tech, systems, and business infrastructure ensures the brand is supported by strong foundations, allowing Cerana to grow sustainably without compromising its core values.
As they prepare to launch their first collection [caps and tees] on 1st December 2024, the Cerana team is proud to share their vision with the world.
