• The brand Dao was founded in 2012 by Davy Dao. Born in Troyes, in a family of 8 children, this enthusiast doodled his first jeans between middle school and high school. At the time, he already knew that throwing away was not an option since he wore his brothers’ worn jeans, even if it meant mending them himself on his mother’s sewing machine. It was at the age of 24 that he decided to set out to conquer his dreams. His entrepreneurial adventure took him to Vietnam in Ho Chi Minh City then to Nancy in France… A decade later, his eponymous brand offers a range of clothing for men and women composed of wardrobe basics with denim recycled. We fell in love with this loose, unisex cut kimono in soft and durable blue linen denim.
