Today & beyond · Multi-brand clan

A Self-Funded, Multi-Sector Enterprise

Today the Clan operates a full-spectrum platform across gold, women’s fashion and farm-to-table F&B — with ABRAF Gold, Shecrets, Galo and MYOTO active, and more brands in development. All self-funded. All built to endure.

Where it stands today

Four brands, two countries, one balance sheet.

Every milestone above was funded from the business that preceded it. No external capital, no outside timetable — which is why the line is continuous rather than a series of restarts.
