Cashmere is obtained from the soft undercoat of cashmere goats. It is prized for its exceptional softness, lightweight warmth and fine fibres, making it one of the most valued natural materials in luxury knitwear and tailoring.

Rib knit is a knitted construction characterised by raised vertical ribs and significant stretch. The ribs can be fine or broad, but the defining feature is the alternating raised and recessed structure running vertically through the fabric. It is commonly used for fitted garments, cuffs, necklines and other areas where elasticity is useful.

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.
