Hi, I’m Neil — also known as The Dapo Guy ✨

In January 2025, I started sewing and set off on a journey to create and share Dapos across festivals, conventions, and special events. What began as a solo adventure on the road turned into something much bigger: a growing community built around playfulness, creativity, and connection.

I’ve always loved spreading joy and a playful spirit wherever I go. Dapos are my way of doing exactly that — to make people smile and dream, spark conversations, and add a little extra magic to everyday life.

As the demand for the Dapos grew, I began working with a skilled tailor to help produce more pieces while staying true to the handmade quality and heart behind each design. Every star still carries the same intention it started with: to shine bright and share good energy.

The journey continues — one Dapo, one smile, one festival at a time.

Thanks for being part of it.

“I’m honestly obsessed with these flow stars. I bought two and they’re hands down my favorite flow props I’ve ever used. The patterns are gorgeous, the material feels amazing, and you can really tell they’re handmade with care. The flow is so smooth and satisfying — I literally had to get a second one. Neil was also such a pleasure to work with — so kind, sweet, and easy throughout the whole process. I would absolutely recommend these to anyone. You won’t regret it!” - Hannah
