Dear DOU.K family,
I hope you are healthy and safe in this unsettling time.
Three years after making the first DOU.K shirt, I have decided to close this chapter. To keep this letter short, I will simply tell you, merci. 2020 has been one of the most interesting years by far. With all the uncertainty around us, the only thing I am sure about is that 2021 can only bring new beginnings.
Thank you for your support these past three years and for following DOU.K Studio in all its adventures. Special thanks to my wonderful partners: our factory, our mills, all the magical hands that sewed your shirts, block printed the Hannah dress, and embroidered the Elia Shirt… MERCI. I couldn’t have done it without you.
DOU.K was the result of beautiful encounters. Many wonderful stories were written through our beautiful shirts, and I hope you will keep cherishing for years to come.
Today marks a new step in my career. Bringing my 10 years of experience in creative direction, business development, business strategy, production and sustainability, my consulting services are now available for companies in the fashion, hospitality and travel industries. My purpose remains the same: creating a bespoke experience for timeless elegance. If you would like to discuss a project, please send me a note at
[email protected]. Find me on LinkedIn here: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mariedouat/
I wish you all health and happiness and I can’t wait to see you again in person.
Sincerely,
Marie Douat
