‘Dashing’ Bow Tie Brand Upcycles Vintage Finds
A few years ago, Phoenix-based designer Aaron Kimberlin, 28, was working on his master’s degree in urban planning and policy and studying up on trends in architecture. But in October, he set his sights on a new business venture: Dapper+Dash, a hip and modern line of bow ties made from recycled vintage fabrics. The brand burst onto the local fashion scene last month at a kickoff event at Mercantile, a trendy vintage boutique in Downtown Phoenix, where locals instantly fell in love with Kimberlin’s eccentric upcycling idea.
