House of Dang Closing Sale - Dallas
Our friends, Andy and Doug, over at the House of Dang are closing their doors. The House of Dang has been with us since 2006 and has been a stew of youthful creativity for Dallas. Andy and Doug are moving off to the south, the artsy city of Oak Cliff in the Bishop Arts District, to open Studio Four Eleven with our Etsy Dallas gal Tara to the T. But they’re not leaving Dallas without going out in style with a huge bang’n sale. Stop by House of Dang and shop their vintage, which is marked down 30%. Also get your hands on some original Cut Out and Collect goodies marked down 10-20% off, along with other marked down Dallas designers.

There is a lot more to come from these boys. Go ahead and mark that calendar for Thursday, July 24th, 7pm. This will be their final blow out party at House of Dang!
