"This milestone transaction reflects not only the strength of the brand and its leadership, but also the shared commitment to building a purpose-driven business with long-term impact," Habekovic remarked, highlighting the significance of female leadership within the company.
DÔEN has established itself as more than just an apparel label; it embodies a lifestyle brand with a deep-rooted commitment to sustainability and community impact. Since its founding, the brand has cultivated a loyal following by prioritizing ethical practices and championing women’s empowerment within the fashion industry.
With the successful closure of this funding round, DÔEN plans to expand its retail footprint, enhance operational infrastructure, and deepen its engagement with its growing global customer base. The strategic direction set forth by DÔEN will focus on creating more brick-and-mortar stores, enabling a stronger presence in physical retail environments, and reflecting its brand ethos directly in customer interactions.
Besides Habekovic, the ECJ team that provided counsel during this transaction included Alex Leitch, who served as Counsel, along with Associates Rav Purewal and Connor Dolven. Together, they facilitated various aspects of the financial transaction, ensuring DÔEN's smooth navigation of this significant growth phase.
