Creating the Perfect Bag: About Dagne Dover

Designed for badass humans.

Dagne Dover creates problem-solving bags - for all the badass, problem-solving humans out there. Bags that keep up, stay organized, and look good doing it.

Founded by badass women.

We were founded by three women in 2013. Three women who come from different backgrounds but have similar drive and passion. When fate (okay, fate and a lot of hustle and hard work) intervened, these three women formed Dagne Dover - a company aimed at making lives easier through empathy and good design. We love people, and we love making people happy. Oh, and we’re really happy you’re here.

Responsibility isn’t a fad.

Respons- ibility isn’t a fad.

To us, it’s a necessity.

We do our best not to be jerks to Mother Earth, because we like her, and we know how important it is to leave less of a footprint. Every day we work on our commitment to becoming a more eco-friendly brand. Here’s a peek at some of the initiatives we’re most excited about.

Non-toxic efforts

Bye bye, dyes. AZO testing helps us make sure no hazardous chemicals end up in the dyes we use on the products you love. Simple as that.

Long proposition short, 65 ensures our products are non-toxic, and don’t cause harmful effects to people who use them (like, say, you).

Animal lovers

We’re not all vegan, but we respect the hell out of it. Our Slim Wallet, Card Case, and Daily Tote styles, as well as our Neoprene and Made for Now collections are 100% vegan. So if that’s your thing, these styles and collections are probably your thing too.

Minimizing waste

We give a scrap. All of our excess scrap materials are used for sampling to minimize waste at our factories.

We hate waste. We’re also not big fans of clutter. Especially when it comes to our bags and landfills. So we’re doing something about it. In partnership with Archive, we’ve created Almost Vintage - an initiative that lets you buy and sell used Dagne Dover goods, encouraging eco-friendlier fashion and a happier Mama Earth.

Reuse & recycle

Reuse. Regift. Repeat. When we have excess inventory or returns, we donate them to charities like Single Mothers Outreach and Closet On Main so that they can live a second (or third) life. We love the fact that our products find new homes and can go to those in need.

When our clothes no longer bring us joy, we donate them to our friends at Marimole. No, really. Once a season we have a clothing drive for everyone on the team, and Marimole magically transforms our old threads into new ones.

Behind the design.

We believe that good design is everything. Like, everything. It’s sort of our mantra. From our materials to our process to our final product, everything is chosen and crafted for top-notch performance. And every little detail makes a big difference. We partner with creative makers all over the world who share this belief and help us bring our bags to life.
