Overview
Did you know that Americans throw out over 14 million tons of textile waste EVERY YEAR? Clothes are an important part of our identity. Don't let a $5 dress that you only wore twice be the mark you leave on this Earth. Dona Paula Clothing is offering people the chance to make a difference with what they wear. Customize a piece to your liking, wear it 8 ways, and then sell it back to us. You'll never make an impulse-buy again. Not only will the Earth thank you, but your wallet will too.

 

 

Made-to-order clothing that is reversible and detachable.

Customize it | Wear it 8 ways | Sell it back to us

 

 

 

You'll never have to worry about baggage limits again!

Stop making regret-purchases. You can sell your Dona Paula piece back to us using our pre-paid shipping label -- but only after you've worn it at least 8 times.

 

 

 

 

Choose your top, choose your bottoms, and then choose your print and colour(s) to your liking by using our interactive e-store (launching February 2018). For crowdfunding purposes, we've limited your customization options to print and colour(s). Please note that you will be able to choose your print/colours only after August 5th.

The average t-shirt is only worn 4 times before being discarded. We think that's ridiculous, so we've made all our garments reversible, and some can be detached into a top + bottoms. *Please note: The Martina and The Nadia are not detachable, only reversible*

 

But not before you prove to us that you've worn your Dona Paula piece at least 8 times. This is not a joke -- we are tired of seeing people give away their impulse purchases to second-hand stores, only for the majority of those clothes to end up in a landfill. We do not want our clothes to be part of the problem, and so we are establishing a take-back program! We will have our take-back program fully established to the public by July, 2018, but we will keep our campaign backers updated constantly.

 

Here's the Indiegogo Collection available for purchase. All Canadian orders get FREE SHIPPING throughout the campaign.

We hope to use Lenzing Micro-TENCEL® as the primary fabric for our garments -- it's an all-natural, breathable fibre made from wood pulp that feels like flower petals on your skin. When Tencel can't be dyed with certain prints, we will opt for another natural and sustainable fabric; your donations can help us research and test out the best fabric choices for our product!

 

 

Not quite feeling our current collection, or are you a person who just doesn't wear dresses and jumpsuits? Don't worry -- we get it. We're offering two great alternative perks, regardless of your age and gender.

And if you're feeling adventurous, consider an unforgettable experience in the place that inspired our collection:

If we exceed our goal of $30,000 to at least $50,000, one lucky donor and a friend will WIN a Goa Retreat!

 

 

We know -- $30,000 is a lot of money. But this is the bare minimum we would need to cover our loan repayment, producing rewards, and making an awesome e-store. If we exceed our goal -- even better! We can invest all that extra money into making more people aware of our brand and working on the first collection for when our e-store goes live.
