YESTERDAY, TODAY AND THE FUTURE
2006
Founded in 2006 by Swedish-French designer Johanna Dauphin, J Dauphin unites high-fashion design with artisanal craftsmanship.
RECOGNITION
Johanna studied fashion design at IED in Rome and began her career at Tod's and Fendi in Italy before moving to Paris. There, she collaborated with Parisian ateliers that produced J Dauphin exclusively alongside Hermès and Christian Dior, followed by fifteen years split between New York and Los Angeles.
AWARDED
J Dauphin collections have been carried by Bergdorf Goodman, Harvey Nichols, Matches, Isetan, and Lane Crawford. Recognized with multiple fashion awards, the brand's custom designs have been chosen by cultural figures and musicians including Keith Richards, Def Leppard, Uma Thurman, Chloë Sevigny, Courteney Cox, and Brandi Carlile.
SPIRITUALITY
From the beginning, J Dauphin was set out to create collections where every piece carried a distinct energy. The jewelry is deeply rooted in spirituality, using symbology, gems but above all intention to empower, heal and spiritual alignment. The repurposed vintage jackets are transformed and personalized to reflect the same intent of empowerment. The intent in any piece created carries energy that affects the wearer.
SUSTAINABILITY
J Dauphin was born from a fundamental need to express core values that Johanna felt missing in the fashion industry, shaped by a family heritage rooted in high-end retail. True sustainability and transparency extend far beyond a basic eco-conscious ethos, anchoring instead in a brand's very reason for existence but also a timeless design and lasting quality. On a deeper level, sustainability possesses a spiritual root, where slow fashion and identity require honesty and a connection to eternal values.
