Elevating the Cannabis Experience
Claudine Farms, celebrated for its sun-grown cannabis flower and artisanal infused honey, aimed to blend their commitment to quality with a fresh take on cannabis consumption. Their collaboration with The Vapor Bar Experience and American Hash Makers introduced an elegant and innovative approach that captivated the fashion elite.
King Aswad, co-founder of Claudine Farms, shared his excitement about the event: “Claudine Farms had the pleasure of partnering with The Vapor Bar Experience during New York Fashion Week, and it was truly unforgettable. The way VBE presented these products was unlike anything we’ve seen before. Guests were treated to pure, solventless cannabis vapors served in elegant glasses and terpene-rich low-dose or CBD-only vapor cocktails in fun beverage cups. It was a standout experience that was both social and safe—a safer alternative to the traditional joint-passing ritual.”
