The DB Story

It all started on a napkin...

From an idea written on the back of a napkin to one of Australia's leading beauty brands, Designer Brands Cosmetics celebrates 15 years of growth in 2021.

An Australian success story that continues to grow, DB was founded by husband-and-wife team Tony and Sharon Rechtman of Total Beauty Network. The brand was created to challenge the notion that affordable makeup can't match the quality of high-end counterparts.
