DÔEN was founded in 2015 by a collective of creative LA-based women aiming to improve upon the traditional fashion industry model by supporting women-identifying people in the workforce in all aspects of the organization, supply chain, and community. Inspired by vintage designs and nostalgia for the California of past decades, we strive to make elevated yet wearable pieces for the everyday. As a direct-to-consumer brand, the DÔEN lifestyle, e-commerce site, social media channels, and retail store experience is a platform through which we connect with customers, build an open community, take a vocal stance on causes we deeply believe in, and foster relationships with inspiring individuals. As an apparel brand, we are intentional when selecting our manufacturers, and partner solely with factories that share our company values. Our production partners share our commitment to supporting those who identify as women in the workplace and are collaborators in our mission to eliminate the gender gap at every point in the supply chain. We work with 3rd-party compliance audits to evaluate our manufacturing partners on a host of practices, from gender and social quality to wages to ethical work environments and standards.
