be well, do good
DOLAN exists to encourage self care and collective well-being so we can actively protect our community and care for others. We champion living and consuming with purpose and mindfulness and believe that by prioritizing personal wellness and protection, you care for the collective.
WE PROTECT & WE CARE
For us, social responsibility means mindful participation in efforts to improve the quality of life and well-being of our neighboring and partnering communities across the world. When COVID-19 brought new challenges, our answer was to evolve product as a means of protection, reinforcing our mission.
Thoughtful design means understanding our customer’s way of life and
creating products to enhance day to day well-being. The act of prioritizing your own protection in times of dis-ease ensures that others can remain healthy. At DOLAN, we make products that enable you to protect yourself, and therefore your community, without compromising your personal style. We provide essential protective day-to-day items that are as infused with thoughtful details as they are with protective features and benefits.
Because we are creating clothing and accessories as protective companions of your busy lifestyle, our products focus on serving the many occasions in your life - work, weekend and travel.
OUR ACTION:
THE LAUNDRY TRUCK LA
Our non-profit, The Laundry Truck LA (TLTLA), is at the heart of our local social mission. Clean clothing is an essential part of healthy hygiene and overall self-esteem.
TLTLA aims to restore a bit of dignity and hope to local people experiencing
homelessness through free mobile laundry services. By providing cleaning
amenities for clothes, we contribute to individuals’ ability to secure housing
and employment.
Through TLTLA, we facilitate opportunities for our employees
and customers to volunteer and make an impact. Our proceeds, your donations
and the City of Los Angeles keep The Laundry Truck LA moving and making an impact.

OUR COMMITMENT: ONE FOR ONE
During the 2020 pandemic, DOLAN has pledged to donate 75,000+ masks to essential workers
through our one-for-one initiative, donating one mask for
every protective essentials item purchased through our site. We will continue this pledge
as long as there is a need to provide protection to our communities.
“We are committed to supporting our city - most notably with our nonprofit, The Laundry Truck LA, which provides people experiencing homelessness with free mobile laundry services. Our recent masks initiative is another way that we
are ‘giving back' and working to make a positive impact on our community.”
- Jodie Dolan, Founder & Chief Creative Officer
SOCIAL IMPACT
When the COVID-19 pandemic started, we completely shifted our entire brand direction to maintain and increase jobs, while transitioning our product offerings to directly support the wellness and safety of our community. We remain committed to:
- Supporting TLTLA operations and reach with a % of our proceeds.
- Continuing our one-for-one mask initiative.
- Facilitating volunteer opportunities for our employees and customers.
By 2025 we commit to:
- Transparent supply chain.
- Investment in diversity across all levels of the company.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
We cannot protect people if we don’t care for the environment. By 2025 we aim to:
- Eliminate all virgin plastic.
- Produce 50% of all products that can be recycled and/or made using sustainable, recyclable materials.
- Reduce water usage by investing in fiber technology advancements for our own products and garment care once an item is purchased.
