You might have sensed a slower pace recently as we settle into the close of the year. This season always invokes thoughtfulness—quiet planning for a new chapter ahead, and for us, this has been more intentional than ever.

After the launch of our last Capsule IV, the world started to feel unstable. Our foundations, both within the brand and our communities, felt tender, so we decided to take a pause. We used this time to recenter and reevaluate, considering the long-term direction that we wanted Dāl The Label to follow. Within this purposeful stillness, we began to understand how Dāl must evolve alongside a world in motion and the challenges rising in its wake for young, conscious brands.

In the past year, many of Dāl’s lifelines have been tested. Following ICE raids in downtown LA, two of our factories have been shut down, highlighting that local production methods can no longer be our sole route to guaranteeing quality. We also found ourselves reaching the limits of what domestic manufacturers could offer, especially when looking to advance our signature tailoring silhouettes. Artisanal craftsmanship has always been central to the Dāl mission, and to maintain the standard we promise and expect, we realized we now needed to explore production on an international level.

Shifting to a global production process became a necessary choice—intentional and by no means a compromise. This move will allow for even better garment quality in the coming chapters, creations using more advanced techniques, and fairer pricing for our loyal community. We’re thrilled to share that Dāl has now partnered with a small group of trusted domestic and international factories who will help bring this evolution of the brand to life, each aligning with our unapologetic ethical and quality standards.
