Doucette Duvall is a dress and coat line that was started Valentine’s Day 2005.  Their fanciful, yet timeless, pieces are all manufactured entirely in New York City’s historic garment district using pre-existing fabric and trim, shunning extraneous garment bags and hang tags, and shipping in recycled boxes only.

Doucette Duvall goes an even farther step by including a “little green dress” in each of their collections as a reminder of their commitment to Madame Earth. So cute! A portion of the proceeds from the “little green dress” are donated to the non-profit group, Build it Green. (For more info on that, check out: www.bignyc.org.)

On the Doucette Duvall website, they have a Q&A with the lead designer/founder, Stephanie Doucette.  When asked what sets them apart, she tastefully answers:

• 70%+ of the materials must be “rescued” (already produced)
• dd pieces must be as memorable as a first kiss — for girls (and boys) — so that they get way more life than just a season or two
• we essentially long to create trend-less, green beauties for dd girls everywhere.

When you look at the pieces, you can really see the extensive thought put behind them by the designers…little personal touches that make its rarity stand out.  For example, check out the back of this cute top ($76.80).  Amazing!

You can find Doucette Duvall in various Barneys locations, or try these online boutiques: Coco’s Shoppe; Fashion Conscience; and Kind.

I’m in love with DD’s unique look!  Check out this to-die-for leopard print dress from their Fall 2010 collection.

Happy Shopping!
