It is here where each individually drawn collection is conceived. Dutchess stands for laid back luxury, as evident in each style.

The simplicity and pureness of the clothes emphasize the individuality of the wearer. The designs can be easily combined and can be both worn casual and dressy. The label presents two womenswear collections per year, always made with an innovative materials and high quality fabrics. All items are manufactured in Europe.
