Collection
DANA LEE BROWN is a collection of clothing and bespoke fabrics crafted from soil to loom in collaboration with farms and mills. Each piece features a hand-chronicled label sharing its textile's journey of creation beginning at the farm.
We warmly invite you to visit our Store/ Showroom on Bowen Island, BC, where you can explore the collection and gain insight into the farms, fibres, and processes behind each custom textile.
DANA
Dana grew up in the Pacific Northwest before moving to New York to design menswear. There, she founded her eponymous label, DANA LEE (2008-2016), before taking a five-year hiatus from the garment industry.
Her longtime experience with domestic garment and textile production has been a stepping stone for this deeper inquiry into clothing-making, honouring agriculture, yarn-making, and exploring bioregional design.
Dana is now grateful to live and work on Nexwlélexwm (Bowen Island), which is situated on the ancestral and unceded territory of the Sḵwx̱wú7mesh Úxwumixw (Squamish Nation).
