Paper Doll Formals Values:
We Are Green-Oriented
Paper Doll Formals makes all our decisions with an "eco" frame of mind including the choice of suppliers, contractors, and operations. Our goal is to become carbon neutral by the year 2015 to offset shipping and manufacturing of all our lines.
We Are Community-Minded
We are part of the community, therefore our goal is to give back to the community whenever possible.
Paper Doll Formals has a community-driven initiative; The Princess Project is a work experience and charitable project of teens helping teens. Grade 12 students from the Cowichan Valley gain valuable on-the-job-training working at Paper Doll throughout the school year, while also learning how to create a charitable event enabling all young women to attend prom in a lovely gown, no matter their financial situation.
We Believe in the Power of Education
Education is expensive, and
Paper Doll Formals wants to help defray the cost. Every March, to celebrate the opening of the boutique, a fashion show of upcoming formal and prom styles is held at a local community landmark. After the fashion show, entrants who have created their own designs will have them modeled for judging. The winner will receive a $500 scholarship to
Pacific Design Academy and more.
