We at the Dowdy fourhundred believe that it is not
only the man himself but also the image he conveys
that ensures a prosperous life.
We continue on our quest to make the world more
beautiful .
The Vela collection represents our desire for freedom.
Feel the sea breeze blow through your hair and
sail off into the sunset!
But remember,
“If one does not know to which port one is sailing,
no wind is favorable.”
– Seneca, Roman philosopher, 1st Century AD

Tai O,a genuine fisherman’s village...

The village is set in a beautiful place, the island of
Lantau near Hong Kong. But don't let this beauty
fool you; rumor has it that this tranquil village has
a dark history. It is said that large smuggling
operations - handling everything from the gun and
drug trades, to the smuggling of people -
had their base in this very village.

Today this village by the emerald sea mixes the
beauty of old weatherworn stilt houses with lush
tropical surroundings. In other words, it is the
perfect place to display the fresh new collection of
Spring/Summer 2009.

What’s the difference between something beautiful
and something ugly? What’s fashionable and what’s
not?
We neither judge nor decide. We just make accessories
that are classic and timeless. In keeping with our
belief in exclusivity, all of our creations come in
limited editions of 400 pieces and each piece being
certified with an individual number. This is to prevent
you from walking around with the same accessory
as everyone else.
Why not add a bit of exclusive luxury to your
everyday life?!
Join the Dowdy fourhundred!
