Sustainability. Inclusivity. Craftsmanship.

Welcome to Dora Studio, an independent fashion brand based in Edinburgh.

“When you don't dress like everyone else, you don't have to think like everyone else.”

― Iris Apfel

Small batch style, made to order

Waste - it’s bad for the planet, and it’s bad for fashion lovers. That’s why we create our designs in small batches on a made-to-order basis using recycled and deadstock fabric.

Every piece is designed with longevity in mind, prioritising slow fashion and quality craftsmanship over mass production and fleeting trends. We believe in mindful consumption, creating a functional wardrobe with staple pieces that serve multiple purposes. 

Inclusive fashion for every body

Fashion should be a form of self-expression, not a set of rules. Our designs are made for all bodies, all sizes, all genders - all people.

  • Alphabet sizing so you get the fit you need, without the stigma of traditional sizing
  • No gender labels because if you love it, you should wear it, no questions asked

Getting better all the time

We know that no brand is perfect, but we believe it’s better to take meaningful steps forward than to contribute to the cycle of waste. Dora Studio is not just another fashion label, we are here to make a difference, even if it means taking things one stitch at a time.

As a small business, we are always learning, growing, and open to collaboration. Transparency is key to our journey. We strive for continuous improvement, making informed choices about ethical fashion, and sharing our knowledge with our community.

Join us on our journey - one that values people, the planet, and the power of conscious fashion choices.
