She quickly became enamored with the culture and utilized her background in business and design to begin Della.

Vans tapped into Della’s team of designers to handcraft fabrics through a local batik process to create one-of-a-kind prints that were blended on the Vans classic Sk8-Hi Reissue, Era, Authentic, Sk8-Hi Slim and the two new accessory silhouettes, a large hobo bag and wristlet clutch. The rich colors of the fabric are inspired by the landscape and culture of the region.
