About me

My name is Douwe, the founder and sole operator of Dobber. From my studio apartment in Deventer, the Netherlands, I design and curate exclusive, small-batch sunglasses collections to ensure uniqueness and quality.

The idea behind Dobber. began a while ago, I wanted to create exclusive sunglasses, so you not bump into someone with the same glasses. After countless hours of sketching and experimenting with various colors and materials, I am proud to introduce our first collection: Nature’s Essence.

The journey from concept to production was not without its challenges. One of the biggest was finding a manufacturer who could accommodate low minimum order quantities, essential for maintaining exclusivity and managing our startup. After extensive research and numerous conversations, I finally found a factory willing to produce 100 pairs per style. This partnership was a game-changer, allowing me to bring Dobber. from a dream to a reality.

Today, I am proud to present a tangible product that embodies my vision. And now, you have the opportunity to wear a pair yourself.
