Our Story
About Chantelle: Dapper Door Decor's CEO
Born on the beautiful island of St. Croix, USVI, Chantelle is the daughter of a culture and community where creativity abounds and thrives in wonderful ways. Throughout childhood, Chantelle always gravitated toward bold, beautiful, artistic composition and expression, ranging from dance, voice, music, cosmetology, décor, and an organic love for style.
A natural born creative, Chantelle experienced some of the best culture, cuisine, and community love, which would eventually birth Dapper Door Décor.
What started as a simple request for a wreath – at the behest of her mother – Chantelle, as with every other assignment or challenge in life, rose to the occasion and produced a work of art. That one wreath set off a sequence of events which motivated Chantelle to hone her skills in the art of custom wreath-making. From that one fateful assignment, Dapper Door Décor has diversified across several styles and materials – from deco mesh, to burlap (natural and colored), Madras (the official cultural fabric of the USVI), African Kente cloth, Christmas bulbs, and most recently, customized wooden wreath signs.
