about

In 2002 Andres Throckmorton Stickney set up the label DRES. DRES started as an accessory line of innovative rubber belts he patented for the distinctiveness in the product's elasticity, resilience, and durability.

In Spring 2004, Andres introduced his first complete designer collection with Bryant Park during New York Fashion Week.

DRES followed buyers requests and added a line of perforated leathergoods. This technique starts with the finest, most supple, thick Italian leather carefully perforated by craftsmen with mastery over half a century. The perforations enhance the leather by adding breathability, drape, texture, pattern, and reducing weight. Perforating transforms leather into a grid which provides a foundation for exact cutting and sewing. In the New York Studio the DRES collection is hand sewn and constructed using only the perforated holes. Each leather item is as beautiful on the inside as the outside. All seams and details are hand finished with perforated leather. DRES is available at Opening Ceremony and other fine stores.
