de dam foundation makes timeless, functional garments that are inspired by the simplicity of everyday life in the Netherlands and rooted in historical awareness. Such influence stems from the founder John Ro, who was born in South Korea, and has come to appreciate the effortless style of the Dutch since living there.
“Like the best family staples passed down for generations”, all their garments are genderless, one size and crafted from high-quality natural fabrics that will only improve with age.
It’s clothing that combines clean lines of 20th century Dutch modernists with the craftsmanship of traditional costumes from the Netherlands.
de dam foundation garments are made in South Korea as an ode to John’s heritage.
