About Us

Dorothy’s Pearl is a style brand dedicated to empowering women and teen girls to embrace their authenticity and uniqueness. Founded by Shar Michele and her daughter Syd Renee, the brand is guided by their faith, with God as their CEO. Named in honor of Shar’s grandmother (Dorothy Pearl) and Syd’s godmother (Dorothy), both of whom have been pillars of encouragement and inspiration, Dorothy’s Pearl celebrates the rarity and worth of every woman and teen girl.

Shar handles the day-to-day operation of the brand, while Syd is the creative mind who designs the handbags.

The definition of a pearl is anyone or thing of great rarity and worth.

This is why our products are crafted in small quantities to ensure exclusivity—each piece you purchase is as unique as you are. “In a sea of ordinary, be a PEARL,” reflects our commitment to offering something truly special.

Beyond fashion, we’re a mobile brand that has been rolling through the streets of Metro Detroit since 2017. We’re also passionate about raising awareness of the need for more registered bone marrow donors, particularly in the African American community. That’s why we donate a portion of our sales to the National Marrow Donor Program (NMDP), helping to find life-saving matches for all ethnicities in need.

Thank you for visiting Dorothy’s Pearl. Remember, you are rare, you are priceless, YOU ARE A PEARL!
