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.

Crochet is an open textile construction made by interlocking loops with a hooked tool rather than by weaving or conventional knitting. Its visible stitches create a distinctive handmade appearance, often with large open spaces and repeating motifs. In fashion, crochet is commonly used for dresses, tops, skirts 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.
