ACTIVEWEAR
& HAND-DYED BASICS
Lexi Soukoreff launched DAUB as a way to explore her education and interest in colour, pattern and function of high quality fabrics. You'll see her engaging with customers at our DAUB Granville store, at markets and tradeshows around Canada and trying on new collections on our socials! You'll also get her letters from our newsletters.
Besides being a female-founded and Canadian-manufactured brand, DAUB is special in the way we create our pieces. From small batch production to the fabric quality & selection, DAUB offers a garment that really speaks to its owner.
Creative Director and Owner, Lexi Soukoreff, began hand-dyeing all her pieces in 2010. The one of a kind garments are eye-catching and garner you many compliments as you wear them.
"Our story starts with a blank canvas"
- Lexi Soukoreff
We start with a solid fabric and add colour to it. DAUB as a verb means "to apply colouring material to a surface". With her hand-dyed work as a textile artist, Lexi creates soft, sophisticated patterns for her pieces. From seamless undies, to leggings, sports bras and tank tops, each tie-dyed piece remains one of a kind - just like it's wearer.
DAUB is about hand-dyed artistry.
Dyes are carefully measured by hand in our Vancouver studio.
We work in small batches to ensure we are not over producing each season.
Dyes are carefully strained for clarity. Every step in the process takes time to ensure a quality, one of a kind product.
Non-toxic dyes are used in our process and no harmeful fixatives are used.
Dye is carefully poured onto the fabric, using various surface design techniques.
We "exhaust" our dye baths, meaning little to no dye goes down the drain. We're committed to environmentally-aware dye practices.
