We investigate the dust properties of a small sample of Virgo cluster dwarf galaxies drawn from the science demonstration phase data set of the Herschel Virgo Cluster Survey (HeViCS). These galaxies have low metallicities (7.8 < 12 + log(O/H) < 8.3) and star formation rates less than or similar to 0.1 M-circle dot yr(-1). We measure the spectral energy distribution (SED) from 100 to 500 mu m and derive dust temperatures and masses. The SEDs are fitted by a cool component with T less than or similar to 20 K, implying dust masses around 10(5) M-circle dot and dust-to-gas ratios (D) within the range 10(-3)-10(-2)
