The gift that hangs on their door and greets them every time they come home
MEET DOORY
We make one wreath. It’s called Doory.
Doory is a 26-inch fresh evergreen wreath, handmade in Washington. Every leaf, needle, and berry is real. No ribbon, plastic berries, or artificial picks. We chose the greenery for its natural color and texture, then let it speak for itself.
It smells like standing in the middle of a rainforest after rain. Because that’s roughly where it came from. Not all rainforests are tropical.
A door hanger, your personal message, and free ground shipping to the lower 48 come with it.
Every year, sometime in mid-October
THE PEOPLE
Where it comes from
Doory is made by a family in a small town in western Washington. The town is known for two things: lumber and wreaths. About six thousand people live there.
The wreath maker is named Rene. He didn't inherit this. He spent his first two decades in the industry making wreaths for other companies, then started his own operation selling Salal, a glossy evergreen shrub the floral trade uses year-round. But November was his slow month. So Rene added wreaths to fill the gap. That was almost twenty years ago.
Every morning during the harvest window, pickup trucks pull into Rene's yard. The drivers are neighbors and friends. Retired roofers. A man named Russ, who spent thirty years fishing in Alaska and now walks the woods in a T-shirt when everyone else is in wool.
THE CRAFT
How Rene decides
A wreath is only as good as the boughs it's made from. Everything downstream, the shape, the drape, the scent, the six weeks on your door, starts with what goes onto the ring.
If someone brings a thousand pounds of Noble Fir and two hundred pounds of it is the wrong color, or the wrong shape, or the wrong length, that two hundred pounds gets set aside. And Rene doesn't pay for it.
Rene has been sorting greenery for twenty years. He can spot a good bundle at a glance. If it doesn't hit the mark, it doesn't go on our ring. The same standard applies inside the workshop. Two layers of quality control on every wreath that leaves.
