Paid Media Specialist

HERA Clothing is an eCommerce, fashion brand based in Cheltenham. HERA design and develop its products in the UK, manufactures them in the Far East and Europe and then ships directly to its customers from the HERA Clothing eCommerce store.

Born in 2015, HERA Clothing soon became known for its iconic skinny jeans, oversized t-shirts, and loungewear, collecting a loyal customer base, and attracting ambassadors and celebrities such as the Geordie Shore cast, Brooklyn Beckham, and Sofia Richie, as well as launching a range of products within Selfridges London. These elements contributed to significant growth in revenue and profits, enabling HERA Clothing to reach a turnover of over £5 million in 2019.

In October 2021 the ex-Chairman and now Executive Director of Gymshark Paul Richardson purchased HERA Clothing with the mission to capitalize on the work done by the previous team, create significant company growth, and improve brand equity. With a new management structure, HERA Clothing has ambitious objectives to continue its growth to £10m over the next 3-5 years. Since then, the brand has evolved its aesthetic, mission, and vision, aspiring to become known for its hybrid, versatile and fashion-forward daywear, as well as providing a platform for style, storytelling, and collaboration.
