WHAT WE LOVE

Dauphinette is a unique womenswear brand with a boutique in New York's West Village. The brand was founded in 2018 by Olivia Cheng who launched her line with reworked vintage outerwear. The brand has grown to include one-of-a-kind jewelry and accessories alongside her ready to wear collection.

Olivia has created a distinctive environment at the Dauphinette flagship repurposing tree branches as clothing rails and reclaimed NYC scaffolding for shelving which contrasts against the modern walls of resin encased pressed fruits and flowers. The resin walls use a technique borrowed from her best selling jewelry line whereby she preserves botanicals and fruit in non-toxic resin.

"Today, the brand is best known for its use of preserved botanicals and repurposed textiles, and can be discovered blooming everywhere from its West Village flagship to the Met Museum's Costume Institute."
