About Dôen

DÔEN is a Los Angeles-based line inspired by nostalgia for the California of decades past. Driven by the shared desire to make elevated yet wearable pieces for the everyday, we strive to bring more than a boutique shopping experience to you but to use DÔEN to connect with our customers, build an open community, and foster relationships with the inspiring individuals who wear our clothes throughout their lives. As a women-owned company, a cornerstone of the DÔEN brand mission is supporting women in the workplace and in the supply chain.

We are intentional when selecting our manufacturers, partnering only with factories that share our values. We are proud that our production partners share our commitment to supporting those who identify as women in the workplace and are collaborators in our mission to eliminate the gender gap at every point in the supply chain. We have chosen to work with women-owned or co-owned manufacturers: Currently, 50% of our apparel factories are owned by women, and the other 50% are co-owned.

We believe that today’s sustainability conversations, which have been centered around environmental impact, are crucial - but are interconnected to environmental, economic, racial, and social justice. We work with 3rd-party compliance audits and certifications to evaluate our manufacturing partners on a host of practices, from gender and social equality to wages to ethical work environments. In making a decision to work with a specific facility, we look for several indicators - including the people in management roles that identify as women, the factory’s control of all stages of production, the presence of internal worker’s unions, and any established foundations/organizations that directly benefit their employees and/or the surrounding community.
