We’re excited to share more about DOUBL’s fresh look! As part of our pivot to support women through different life stages, starting with perimenopause and menopause, we’ve launched our first product—the T-Shirt Bra. And we couldn’t be prouder of our updated colour palette, inspired by valuable feedback from our community. Women told us they wanted playful yet understated tones, and we listened. No neons or pastels here! Instead, we’ve drawn inspiration from the nostalgic, happy moments of the 1970s—when many of our customers were kids growing up, discovering themselves, and developing their sense of style. Teal, mustard yellow, and our signature deep red evoke familiarity while still having a vibrant contrast that reflects the multifaceted DOUBL woman. Check out the new palette below, and tell us what you think! Does it bring back any childhood memories for you?

As Futurpreneur Side Hustle Loan recipients (2021) and Futurpreneur Growth Accelerator winners (2024), we were so excited to take part in their program announcement yesterday. With the support of RBC and BDC they announced their loan limit has been increased by $15k, bringing it to $75k, and extended eligibility to businesses within two years of full-time activity. The event was full of optimism for the future of youth entrepreneurship. Karen Greve Young, CEO of Futurpreneur, gave an inspiring speech celebrating the small businesses driving innovation across the country. We also heard a passionate speech from Honourable Rechie Valdez, Minister of Small Business, on the importance of supporting youth in seeing entrepreneurship as a viable career option. Lastly, we heard from Joanna Griffiths, Founder and President of Knix and Futurpreneur Board Director. She spoke about her story of building Knix over a decade— creating the period care-incontinence underwear category, with the largest exit by a women in Canada. She reminded us how staying mission-focused can pull you through the toughest times of building a startup. We are so excited to be part of a community that believes in empowering the next generation of business leaders, and we're more motivated than ever to keep building something impactful and pushing boundaries. 

We believe in constantly redefining ourselves. That’s why we’re excited to reveal our latest website update reflecting our new branding. This will be complemented with a photoshoot later this year. Visit our new website now at https://www.mydoubl.com/ We can't wait to see what you think!
