A.A.D.17 was established to continue the legacy of my son, Anthony Alan Delva, who passed away shortly after beginning his tie dye t-shirt business at the age of 17. We have a great team whose goals are to honor Anthony’s memory while helping others. We hope to do that in two ways.
Anthony’s other great love was giving—to family, friends, and even perfect strangers who needed a helping hand. Anthony believed, as we continue to believe, that God blesses us so that we can bless others. It is this spirit of giving that compels us to donate proceeds from each sale to charitable organizations. We continue Anthony’s promise to style people uniquely, while extending a hand to those in need.
The first mission of A.A.D.17 is to continue Anthony’s creative vision by providing a variety of tie-dye designs, we believe, he would have liked. Anthony was inimitable, from his sense of humor to his style of dress. When it comes to fashion, Anthony never wanted to be pigeonholed. His style was energetic and ever evolving. Anthony wore shorts with the same casual elegance as he wore his suits. He was fully himself, however he dressed, wherever he happened to be. Thus, at A.A.D. 17, we aim to provide clothing in a variety of styles, from casual to formal, that celebrate life, people, and their God-given exceptionalities.
