Meet the Founder: Dondolo

Meet Catalina Maria Gonzalez Franco! Founder and Designer behind the fan favorite brand, Dondolo. 

 “I started Dondolo because I have always had a strong desire to give back, especially to children, mothers and their communities. In addition to that, I started Dondolo to explore and grow my creative side bringing to life detail-oriented designs.”

Blue striped kids' cover-up, the Weezie piece that brings Catalina Franco joy

Monogrammed Beach towels in blue stripes on my lounge pool chairs bring me great joy! I also love seeing the boys in their Weezie cover-ups after a long beach day!

What's your coffee order? 

I enjoy starting my morning with a double espresso and sipping on matcha with oat milk throughout the day.
