‘de dam foundation’ was founded in 2022 with a clear goal: to build a timeless, functional wardrobe. Just as the dam is the foundation of the Netherlands—providing stability, strength, and resilience—our garments are designed to serve as the foundation of any wardrobe. Inspired by the practicality and simplicity of Dutch living, each piece is crafted to be reliable, adaptable, and built to last.
At the heart of our approach is craftsmanship, with a strong focus on pattern-making, a principle deeply rooted in Dutch design tradition. Dutch design is known for its clean lines, functionality, and subtle elegance, and we’ve embraced these principles in the creation of each garment. Patterns are the foundation of any garment, and we meticulously design each one to ensure it fits the body comfortably, allowing for freedom of movement while maintaining a timeless silhouette. Whether it’s the structure of a jacket or the drape of a pant, every cut is designed to reflect the understated, practical elegance of Dutch style.
Complementing our patterns is a focus on natural fabrics, chosen for their durability, comfort, and ability to improve with age. These materials enhance the longevity of each piece, ensuring it remains a reliable wardrobe staple for years to come.
Our color palettes reflect Amsterdam’s urban landscapes—shades of gray, green, navy, and brown that evoke the city’s timeless beauty. These colors are versatile and practical, grounding any wardrobe.
We embrace genderless sizing and styling, ensuring each piece is adaptable for anyone. The designs transcend trends, offering timeless essentials that allow for personal expression while staying grounded in the practicality and simplicity that Dutch design is known for. By building a wardrobe founded on quality, reliability, and versatility, we offer more than just clothing—we make pieces that form the foundation of daily life.
