Honoring Duncan Quarless:
The DQ Collection
On November 9, 2025, just days before his 89th birthday, we lost Duncan Quarless—a father, mentor, and friend whose warmth and wisdom shaped everyone around him.
Duncan’s legacy lives on through the DQ Collection, launching later this month: a vibrant series of apparel, home goods, and wall art featuring his unforgettable Bajan sayings and life lessons. From “you go long so” and “put he on a bicycle” to “I’m as serious as cancer,” each piece captures his humor, grit, and love for life.
Every purchase supports underprivileged children in Barbados.
