Inspired by Dante Alighieri—the Italian poet who pursued an unattainable love with relentless passion—Evelyne Kranendonk built DANTE6 with the same devotion. Women need more than just style; they deserve clothing that elevates confidence, the most alluring quality a woman can possess.

The name DANTE6 was born from a dream, where the phrase Dante Says, written in Evelyne’s mother’s handwriting, evolved into Dante6. This moment became the foundation of her journey, with the number 6 growing into a powerful symbol for the diversity of women.

Today, the 6 is not just a number—it is a mantra, reflecting the strength, individuality, and unity of the women who inspire Evelyne’s designs.

Evelyne’s journey started as head of design in the dynamic world of surf and snow sportswear. Over a successful decade-long career, she mastered the art of blending the energy of sportswear with refined design and meticulous craftsmanship. During this time, Evelyne also owned and operated several high-end retail stores alongside her partner—a venture that deepened her understanding of what women truly desire in fashion and sparked her passion to create her own brand.

Recognizing that luxury fashion often felt out of reach for many, Evelyne was inspired to redefine accessibility without compromising on its essence.

Fueled by this vision, DANTE6 was born on the foundation to craft timeless designs that celebrate uniqueness and strength, offering them the perfect balance of femininity, functionality, and empowerment.

Proudly based in Rotterdam, DANTE6 reflects the city’s strength, honesty, and bold vision of the future. Close to the vibrant pulse of this modern metropolis, our HQ stands as a minimalist atelier where creativity and progress meet.

At the heart of this atelier, our skilled team works with care and precision, crafting each piece to embody the essence of refined, empowering fashion.
