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 />
