WHO'S BUILDING DKC
We are more than a brand we’re a team built on purpose
I didn’t set out to build a company. I set out to solve a problem I lived through as a mum, a fashion lover, and someone who couldn’t ignore the waste.
My team is made of parents, builders and believers, shaping a future where children lead the story.
