Cotton is a natural fibre valued for its breathability, softness and durability. Comfortable across a wide range of climates, it is one of the most widely used fibres in clothing and can be woven into fabrics ranging from crisp poplin to soft jersey.

Canvas is a dense, sturdy woven fabric, usually made with a plain-weave construction. It has a firm, relatively flat surface without the diagonal lines characteristic of twill. Depending on its weight, canvas can range from relatively flexible to very rigid and is commonly used for trousers, jackets, bags and other hard-wearing garments and accessories.

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.
