Collection: Desmond & Dempsey

“An Ode To Sunday”

There’s a universal warmth to Sunday. A softer mood, a gentler light, a slower groove, a glorious reward for a week well done. A day when only those closest to you are allowed in. A Sunday, and its many iterations, has always been sacred to us. We founded D&D as an ode to the day. Our hope is to encourage more people to embrace time off, to retreat, rest and do whatever it is that brings them complete joy, all the while connecting with the places they call home, and people they feel closest to. 

Our studio is based in Brixton, London. We are Joel and Molly. Desmond & Dempsey were our grandfathers. Our brand has often reflected moments in our lives. Holidays have turned into collections, friends into the team, family into models, Joel’s shirt, my lack of appropriate pyjamas and a deep desire to be Sienna Miller painting walls in Alfie is actually how the first product came to be. We have never learnt boundaries between work and life, but over time have come to enjoy this about D&D. In inviting us into your home and those sacred hours of Sunday, we promise to do our best to return the same intimacy.
