Doyenne
Doyenne is a skateboarding brand led by women, established in 2017 in Glasgow, Scotland. The brand is described as "more of a movement than a business" with the mission to make skateboarding more inclusive. Initially launched as a social project, it donates 10% of all proceeds to charities, which helps make skateboarding accessible in regions like Afghanistan, Palestine, and Cambodia. Doyenne designs inclusive gender-neutral clothing and skateboards. They use colors to embody the brand philosophy: "Wearing a bright color is an act of confidence and courage. That’s what we want our customers to feel when they wear our clothes."
