About 523 Apparel

Leslie and Marchet, two friends with 25-plus years of friendship, started  DE & DI Apparel in October 2022. We decided to open a business to share our experiences and life journeys as moms, wives, daughters, sisters, and women. 

In 2024, we experienced an extremely difficult year as we lived through the deaths of many we love.  One specifically was Jason Teague, the love of Leslie's life and Marchet's forever big brother!  We are REGROUPING and decided to REBRAND our business from DE & DI Apparel to 523 Apparel in honor of the start of Jason's life (5-23).

Explore our journey through thought-provoking fashion, art, and culture. We deliver positive ideas that bring awareness to the struggles and triumphs of life.  Most importantly, we are building a blueprint and legacy for our children, families, and others.
