DÔEN

Margaret and Katherine Kleveland founded DÔEN after noticing the lack of women's representation after spending years in the fashion industry. Born in Santa Barbara, their collections are inspired by a nostalgia for their coastal California days. They wanted to create something different- a brand that celebrates women and empowers them to live beautiful lives in beautiful clothes.
