Mission
Dona Bela Shreds, the revolutionary fashion accessory brand, turns upcycled garments into stylish, unique neckwear pieces. Each of our Shred items are crafted with care and great attention to detail in a variety of designs and colors that reflect the most current fashion trends.
We strive to provide quality fashion neckwear that is as unique as our customers. We want our clientele to feel confident and comfortable in every accessory they rock. The Dona Bela Shreds line is not only a way to express self-love, but it can positively impact the environment and our communities.
All Shreds are designed and handmade in our headquarters located in Des Moines, IA.
Fashion has officially gone green! With so many scrap pieces ending up floor of a textile manufacturers, the fashion industry is starting to put them to use. Upcycling is the new, innovative way of using leftover materials from manufacturing processes and creating brand new sustainable products. This method helps brands, including Dona Bela, battle the fashion industry’s long-standing waste problem.
Giving back is everything to us. DB Shreds Donate Back, Dona Bela’s donation program, gives a percentage of proceeds every month to a number of foundations that inspire the Dona Bela Shreds’ mission. Some of the charities we’ve had the honor of donating to over the past few years include:“15 to 20 percent of the fabric used to produce clothing winds up in the nation’s landfills because it’s cheaper to dump the scraps than to recycle them.”— Stephanie Rosenbloom “Fashion Tries on Zero Waste Design”, The New York Times.
