Established in 1980, with a membership of 25 specialty stores, DLS has evolved to be the number one better specialty buying office with the strength of 175 men and women's specialty stores across the country. We started with one simple idea let us group together specialty stores to compete with the majors in every way by making the product special, and so we began!

In the 31 years of business our location has remained the same – Midtown Manhattan and convenient to the whole market place. DLS continues to cultivate a cooperative of information in merchandising, operations, and new strategic marketing tactics. While continuing to pursue a blending of luxury, classic, and contemporary apparel, there is also a focus on building the areas of gifts, personal grooming, gourmet packaged foods, select home accessories, novelty books, and other items to create a lifestyle and modern attitude for the future.

Keeping pace with the changes of the market place and the world and not forgetting our history, has helped us to create a stage for the future.
