About

Donavan is a Brooklyn-based menswear label. Inspired by the Designer’s roots between East New York, Brooklyn and Montego Bay, Jamaica. Through home-centered materials. Through black masculine figures, a conversation of migration and dislocation that portrays contemporary Caribbean-American life.

All garments are handmade to order by the designer using locally sourced materials in New York.

All garments are made to order, making all sales final. Returns are not excepted. Please Allow 3-5 Weeks For Production. Garments are only available in the US through domestic shipping and local pick-up. "Stock" are slots to make an order. 

Nostalgia is important to me and so is intimacy. My “Why” is creating spaces where these moments can thrive through the creation of clothing, artwork, and the nurturing of a community. How can I create a home that my younger self would love? How could I affirm them? What would they wear? My ultimate Why is to provide space for the expression of black identities, even if that means making some people uncomfortable.
