Dapper Royalties, specializing in custom bow ties, was created in January 2014 in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. It was a winter snow day with the help of Genesis Bobo and Precious Dillon, the very first Dapper  Royaltie was produced. Creator, Shaq Dillon, shared a photo on social media and his followers inspired him to continue to master his craft. Over the years, Dapper Royalties has made custom made bow ties for all occassions, inclusive of Mardi Gras balls, HBCU Royalty, weddings, proms, and more.
