The<br />

D'Ora Tokai is an innovative couture<br />

house founded in Monte-Carlo, the<br />

heart of Monaco. Using the latest technology<br />

we deliver tailored pieces to<br />

those who value intelligent luxury.<br />

The founder & creative director Dora<br />

Tokai couples her background in architecture,<br />

engineering and business, with<br />

her love for arts & design. Under Dora's<br />

passionate direction sketches are taken<br />

from paper and turned into exquisite<br />

designs. D'Ora Tokai's pieces capture the<br />

essence of the Monegasque heritage<br />

and the Principality's passion for driving.<br />

With skill and traditional knowhow, European<br />

craftsmen turn fine leathers, tender<br />

wools, flawless pearls and precious gemstones<br />

into timelessly beautiful garments<br />

and accessories.<br />

This season’s Heritage pieces use a mix<br />

of pastel colors on leather and silk, with<br />

a focus on the Royal family’s close bond<br />

with the sea and love for elegant events.<br />

Whereas, the Drivers’ collection is made<br />

of fine leather and cottons poplin, using<br />

dynamic shapes, deep reds and greens<br />

inspired by dream cars of yesteryear.<br />

Designer, Dora Tokai gives in-sight: “The<br />

Principality has a rich cultural heritage<br />

which is not as well known as the yachts<br />

and F1 race cars. I’ve made it my personal<br />

mission to bring Monaco style to<br />

the world.”<br />
