Our Story

Jo asked me to join Henkaa after I'd had my first baby - when nothing in my closet fit anymore, except my size flexible, convertible Henkaa dress.

It made me feel comfortable and beautiful without much effort at all - perfect for someone who loves to lounge in her joggers but needs and wants to dress up once in awhile!

I love that I can count on rewearing my Henkaa dresses whenever I need them, without worrying whether they'll fit or whether I'll be in style.

I save time, money and closet space.

And I'm on a mission to help you stress less about what you wear too - so you can focus on what’s most important to you.

Sonia Dong, Co-Owner, Henkaa

Our late founder Jo taught all of us the importance and power of being yourself.

In her memory, Jo's husband Stan and their children established the Joanna Duong Chang Memorial Foundation.

Henkaa donates 1% of our sales to Jo's Foundation year-round, to help break down barriers preventing girls and women from reaching their full potential.

Henkaa partners with schools, charities and non-profits to provide dresses and accessories to women and girls in need.

Recipients may need basics such as undergarments or may want to participate in prom, graduation or job interviews but otherwise cannot because they do not have funds or access to appropriate attire.
