We had the good fortune of connecting with Davarus Bell and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Davarus, we’d love to hear more about how you thought about starting your own business?
Starting Dalore was a deeply personal journey for me, one born out of passion, purpose, and a burning desire to make a positive impact. It wasn’t merely about creating a company; it was about manifesting a vision, breathing life into a dream, and forging a legacy of innovation and excellence.

My thought process was rooted in the belief that I could contribute something meaningful to the world. I envisioned a company that transcended mere profit-making; I wanted Dalore to be a beacon of inspiration, a force for good that would enrich the lives of others and empower communities.

I spent countless hours contemplating how I could leverage my skills, experiences, and values to build something truly remarkable. I analyzed market trends, identified gaps, and envisioned solutions that could address pressing needs while aligning with my personal mission.

But beyond the strategic planning and analysis, there was an emotional component to my decision. I felt a profound sense of responsibility to harness my potential and create something that would leave a lasting, positive imprint on the world. I wanted to build a company that I could be proud of—a company that embodied integrity, creativity, and compassion in every aspect of its operations.

Starting Dalore wasn’t just about entrepreneurship; it was about embarking on a journey of self-discovery, growth, and fulfillment. It was about daring to dream big, taking risks, and persevering in the face of challenges. And above all, it was about embracing the opportunity to make a difference, no matter how small, in the lives of others.

So, my thought process behind starting Dalore was guided by a deep-seated conviction that I could contribute something meaningful to the world—and that belief continues to drive me every single day.

What should our readers know about your business?
At Dalore, we stand for inclusivity, diversity, and empowerment. We firmly believe that fashion should be a form of self-expression, unrestricted by societal norms or gender stereotypes. Men can wear what they want, and women can wear what they like, without being confined to traditional gender roles.

Our designs celebrate individuality and encourage self-confidence, allowing our customers to express themselves authentically and without inhibition.

The journey to where we are today has been one of perseverance, dedication, and passion. Starting in 2013, we faced numerous challenges along the way. Building a brand that challenges conventional norms isn’t easy, but it’s incredibly rewarding. We overcame obstacles by staying true to our values, listening to our community, and continuously innovating.

Throughout our journey, we’ve learned valuable lessons about the importance of resilience, adaptability, and authenticity. We’ve discovered that true success lies in staying true to our vision and remaining steadfast in our commitment to inclusivity and equality.
