Welcome to donni charm!
My mother and I have always loved working on various fashion projects together. We decided to try our hands at scarves, it never occurred to us that the scarves we had created would grow into so much more.
I gave my best friend, Dana, the first scarf we had made. From the moment we both put them on, the compliments didn’t stop coming. I realized that we had really created something unique,and our fashion accessory had taken on a whole new meaning.
Naming our project was the easiest yet most heartfelt step of the process. Last August, my father,Donald, was involved in an accident that took his life at a young age. Since then, everything I have done has been with him in mind. These scarves are wrapped around me, like the arms of his hug, and hang close to my heart where he will always remain. Those close to my father affectionately called him Donny, and as my mom later pointed out, I was his charm… “donni charm” was created.
Our goals are motivated by the true meaning behind donni charm scarves – remaining unique and sophisticated, but always with a dash of fun, as my father Donny lived every day of his life.
Enjoy!
