About

DominicanMadeRD.com (also know as Dominican Girlfriend) was founded in 2015 by Isabel Elite with a clear vision: to create a space where Dominican culture could be celebrated, amplified, and honored—both on the island and throughout the diaspora.

What began as a personal expression of love for her roots evolved into an authentic platform for Dominicans worldwide. Isabel realized that a premium destination combining cultural identity, quality design, and a genuine community for Dominican women and men simply didn't exist—so she built it.

Today, DominicanMadeRD is much more than just a store. It is a movement. A community. A place where every product tells a story, and every story connects us back to our roots.

Isabel has been a seasoned professional in the advertising and marketing industry since 2014, renowned for her exceptional ability to help businesses move forward and solve complex problems on a global scale—including clients of the caliber of Norwegian Cruise Line.

But perhaps most importantly: Isabel was born from a rich, vibrant, and irreplaceable culture. DominicanMadeRD is the intersection of everything she has learned in the corporate world and everything she carries in her heart—her Dominican identity.
