Self Care & Expression is Our Mission

Donna was inspired to open The Donas Shop when she wanted to create NYC streetwear that helped people express their unique & best selves. After launching "The She Cums First" Collection & "NYC Ain't Dead" Capsule, she set out to create loungewear that did the same. Pieces that could elevate your personal practice routines. From meditating, yoga, or going to get your nails done  - Clothing that you could feel comfortable in, while expressing yourself.

 

 Dive deeper into your own self care, acceptance, and actualization. Donna created a line of care based on her own personal attention practice. Journals, candles, guided meditations & self care items that will help support your day and make it a little bit better.

Recharge, Rest, Restore & Reset with us.

Sustainability & Giveback:

We only produce clothing items we get an order for, avoiding textile waste from overproduction. The rest of our goods are small batch, limited run and pre-sale. 

92 million tons of textiles go to waste in the fashion industry each year, 85% of garments ends up in landfills. 

The Dona's Merch Shop prints items on demand (it takes your items a few days longer to get to you, but we don't have to toss out unsold stock). This allows us to avoid overproduction and textile waste, while doing our  part in the sustainable fashion movement.  We make your clothing item when you order it. Our partners use printers that produce almost zero wastewater and use less energy, lowering the carbon footprint. Our printing partners use water-based vegan inks that are non-hazardous, toxin-free, biodegradable, and contain no animal by-products.  

We use minimal packaging for items and our jewelry comes with re-usable pouches.  

Your purchases provide give back to the Dona's Community through free content & meditations, community events in NYC, discounted events and scholarships to our workshops.

Orders & Shipping:

We ship orders on Monday/Tuesday or Thursday/Friday

Wearable merch is created in small batches and in certain cases printed on demand. We do this in order to avoid waste as the majority of leftover clothing from wholesale orders for small brands ends up in land fills and wasted. Because of this your items take a little longer to get to you and might ship in separate packages. Turn Around is 1 week -14 business days.

Shipping: Is FREE with $50 purchase - unless you're international. 

Separate Shipping : Some items might come in multiple packages/shipments / don't freak if you don't get them all at the same time. You can always send us an email for clarification at merch@thedonasproject.com

Why does my shirt smell like vinegar? : For most clothing items we print on demand and you might notice a vinegar-like smell or an off-white residue when you open your package. Don't worry, that's not unusual - it's from a fixation agent applied during the printing process and it's not permanent. It will wash off.
