Launched in 2010, they strive to find sustainable products which provide economic, social and environmental benefits to those artisans who create them. Magnifeco!

Doie – lounge in style
Designer Sara Kirsner is a Marin County, California, native who moved to New York City in 2002 to attend the Parsons School of Design. After interning for DKNY and Marc Jacobs, and freelancing in the design department at Ann Taylor, she decided to go out on her own and create Doie, www.doiedesigns.com, in 2005, and Doie Lounge in 2010. Sara now resides in Santa Monica and produces everything locally in California.

As a 12-time bridesmaid (yes, really!), Sara knows a thing or two about bridesmaid gifts! Doie Lounge was born, in part, from the idea that these glamorous, comfortable robes make the perfect gift for a bride to give to her maids. Each robe is made from earth-friendly fabrics and prices start at $136 USD. Plus, there is special pricing for gift-giving: 15% off 3 or more, 25% off 5 or more and 35% off 8 or more. Ships to Canada and the U.S.
