DEARLY DEPARTED --

--Over the weekend (my trip to AZ) i had the pleasure to meet "SLIM", Dearly Departed's own through Sean Lyles. I read about Dearly Departed a week ago through another bloggers post and was quite eager to find out more about it. It was just a coincidence i ran into Eric (Slim) at High Point (scottsdale, AZ). Real cool people at High Point btw; All Love and Respect. Being the first location (High Point) to carry Dearly Departed you must say that this is a major accomplishment for the brand. My hat tips off to you (Eric and Rook), I wish Dearly Departed much success. If you are in the area of Scottsdale, Az go pick up a tee. Something about the brand name and logo (created by Benny Gold) captures me. There's more to come, keep your eyes open :)

Check it out people; If you are wondering; What is Da Bottom Clothing Line? Who are the founders? Where did the name come from? I got you ! Sit back, relax, and remove your shoes. !

About...

Our clothing is designed by the same audience they represent so with each design we create a direct relationship between ourselves and those rockin' our apparel. The Da Bottom emphasis is on creativity, and our goal is to offer a assortment of products that will distinctively set you apart from the crowd.
Da Bottom clothing; innovative, creative, and simply new. These clothes not only represent a collection of designs, they illustrate our lifestyle.

Courtney "Six" Taylor
co-owner // designer
I've always had a passion for art, whether it be music, graffiti, comic books, sculpture, architecture, everything! I can't say that I've always loved fashion as a whole but I know I love to stay fresh. Inspired by a friend of mine named Mike, founder of Brooklyn Sky, I decided should combine my love for art and "everything fresh". With the goal of bringing our southern swag to the streetwear community, I got with my partner Toib "T" Olarinde and decided to make it happen.

Toib "T" Olarinde
co-owner // brand manager
When Six approached me about starting a clothing line I was all for it. We had no clue what we were getting into but jumped in head first. We then sat down and decided exactly what we wanted the brand to illustrate. Since we were kids, Six and I have never gone a day without talking about music so it was mandatory that we expressed that through the brand. I've been Jordan collector all my life so my first thought was to incorporate my interest in J's. We're both sneaker lovers so that concept came naturally. We didn't want to be just another brand about sneakers and hip-hop... but that's what we love.
Da Bottom is unique because of where we were raised. Living in South Florida your exposed to so many cultures it unbelievable. We're blessed to not only be influenced by our own upbringing but also the influences of so many other cultures. So while we share the same interest as other brands, we don't share the same perception or concepts. We aim to bring a different take on streetwear as a whole and bring our southern voice to the culture.



_Don't sleep; This is just the beginning.

I just want to Thank you (Toib & Courthey) for allowing me feature Da Bottom Clothing on my blog; I have so much love and respect for you. Continue doing what you do, I wish you the best ! God Bless :)

p.s. I apologize for taking so long.
