After 23 years of designing ribbon for other companies, Donna Stevens decided to venture out on her own. Together with her sister Darlene and brother-in-law Rod, Donna launched d.stevens in 2007. Known for combining exclusive embroideries with gorgeous fabrics including taffeta, burlap, sheers, velvet, and Dupioni silk, Donna Stevens has quickly become the design industry's favorite resource for beautiful ribbons and accessories.
Natives of New Orleans, Donna and her sister share a passion for flowers and eclectic French style. Donna fell in love with fabrics and embroideries at an early age, a passion evidenced by her ever-growing collection of vintage ribbons and flowers. The sisters have a combined 30 years in the retail industry, with Donna owning a popular flower shop. From there, she went on to work for a wholesale florist and then to designing florals for a major importer. It was only natural that Donna would transform her love of fabric and design into a company of her own, with the simple goal of creating new and unique products each season, all prized for their absolute best quality.
