Within the realm of fashion, Dafney.co specializes in crafting luxury clothing and accessories. Their debut collection, 'MADA,' is a tribute to Yosh's mother, who left the world in 2020.
The story behind Dafney takes us to a tale of determination. After a life-threatening car crash in 2021, the brand's designer, Yosh Dafney, made the decision to leave his day job. He dedicated himself to mastering the art of sewing and acquiring a deep understanding of textiles. His commitment to craftsmanship has shaped 'MADA' into a collection that moves in between fluidity and structure.
Dafney.co holds a strong belief in free expression, and this ethos permeates every piece created. The products are meticulously designed, rich in detail, and tested to ensure they stand the test of time, both in quality and style.
