Dôen's prairie dresses have the polish of a major fashion label. It's actually run by the sisters who founded it, alongside a collective of women equity owners that includes one of their factory owners. Outside money only arrived in 2025: a minority stake.
The Big Picture
Sisters Margaret and Katherine Kleveland still run Dôen day to day, having built it past $100 million in revenue on less than $1 million of outside capital before taking a minority growth investment from Silas Capital in 2025. Most product comes from women-owned or co-owned factories, and one factory owner holds equity in the brand — though it publishes no supplier list and apologized in 2020 for marketing that outran its practices. Control still sits with the founders and their all-women collective, not their investor.
