REASONS TO LOVE DOWK
Sustainability
High-Quality Construction: DOWK is about providing a timeless style that resonates with you as well as prioritizing durability and quality that lasts. The goal is to use these two aproaches to influence a reduction in the over consumption of fashion.
100% Organic Cotton: Organic cotton minimises the environmental impact compared to conventional cotton farming, which often involves the use of pesticides and synthetic fertilisers. Organic cotton is grown without these harmful chemicals, promoting soil health and reducing water pollution.
OEKO-TEX Certified Dyes: Choosing OEKO-TEX certified dyes indicates a commitment to using safe and eco-friendly colouring processes. This certification ensures that the dyes used do not contain environmentally harmful substances.
Fabric Off-Cuts Repurposed: Repurposing fabric off-cuts into accessories is a great way to minimise waste.
Pre-Order Model: By producing items based on customer demand, you can avoid excess inventory and the associated environmental impact often caused by over production in the fast fashion industry.
Ethicality
All dresses are thoughtfully designed, sampled and wear tested in the DOWK studio in Brisbane, Australia.
All Garments are then made in Bali from a small family business in Sukawati. This team of 5 skilled craftspeople, specialise in premium small batch manufacturing.
The team are aged between 30-50 and are paid hourly. They are paid a living wage and are provided a safe and clean working environment.
This studio is visited regularly by DOWK to connect with the team, develop new ranges and ensure adherence of high occupational and social standards.
Orders are then received in Brisbane, quality checked and shipped out to you from the studio!
Inclusivity
Every DOWK garment is about making you feel amazing!
Garments are made to order in a XS-4X and are designed with fit and functionality in mind. Garments are developed and tested in a L and 2X on a range of sizes and body types. This ensures each fits is optimised to fit real bodies!
Art
DOWK dresses are like wearable canvases. Every print is hand drawn and finalised on a digital tablet. The DOWK perspective is inspired by childhood nostalgia, the wonders of the world and colourful maximalism!
