Features of Blossom Dominica

The main attraction of the project- Blossom Dominica is the ‘Rent a Wobe’ collection. It was Matthew’s believe that every Dominican household must have a wob dwiyet, a traditional Dominican dress.

This initiative will support every native in accessing this beautiful national emblem without straining their finances, as not everyone can afford to purchase a wobe due to financial constraints.

About Kimara Matthew

Kimara Matthew started her fashion industry with Finesse Beauty- House of Fashion, which is the parent company of Blossom Dominica.

Her journey is full of ambition, empowerment, struggle and strength. While living in Dominica, she experienced humble beginnings where clothing was considered a luxury.

She didn’t have access to luxurious clothes, and due to this, she was not invited to a birthday party because of worn-out clothing.

With Blossom Dominica, a fashion designer continues to defy the odds and forge new paths which contribute to the growth of the Dominican fashion industry.

Matthew’s story serves as an inspiration for many as it proves that one can turn their dreams into reality with passion and determination.
