The Dandy

A dandy is a man who places particular importance upon physical appearance, refined language, and leisurely hobbies; all pursued with the appearance of nonchalance.  The term "dandy" dates back to the 18th century, & often refers to a self-made man.

In the 21st century, the word dandy is an adjective meaning "fine" or "great"; when used in the form of a noun, it refers to a well-groomed and well-dressed man. It should not evoke visions of a self-absorbed man, but rather a self-aware man.  Dress for the job you want without sacrificing or even omitting your own great style & taste.

We design fine, hand-crafted, accessories for men.  When you wear Dandy Andies you tell the world that you have discerning taste; you care about quality; you are unique & thoughtful;  and you are willing to take the road less traveled ... especially when that is the smart decision.

In the coming weeks we will release our Summer 2011 Look Book.  Stay tuned ...
