Ramie is a natural fibre obtained from a plant in the nettle family. It is valued for its crisp handle, natural lustre and excellent breathability. It is naturally resistant to mould and wrinkles less than linen, making it particularly suitable for warm climates.

Batiste is an exceptionally fine, lightweight plain-weave fabric with a smooth and delicate surface. It is often slightly translucent and is known for its soft, airy quality.

Founded in Los Angeles in 2016 by sisters Margaret and Katherine Kleveland, DÔEN draws heavily on vintage American and Californian references. The brand is known for romantic, feminine silhouettes, nostalgic prints, delicate details and an emphasis on natural fabrics. Its early identity was closely connected to a collective, female-led approach to the business and creative process.
