About Us

In 1984, Royce Apparel was founded in Landis, North Carolina, in a small cut and sew facility.  Our humble beginning originated here.  Since that time, we moved a few miles down the road to Kannapolis, North Carolina to where we still operate today. Through all these years our commitment to creating the best possible quality garments has never faded.  

Buoy Brand was created for those who appreciate the Southern preppy lifestyle. We designed this namesake brand to promote our love for Americana and loyalty to the Southern states our customers reside in. Whether your hangout of choice is the coast, lake, mountains or maybe just gathering with close friends in the backyard, Buoy has something for you!  We certainly take pride in our Southern heritage and hope you're as proud as we are. 

We are returning to our humble roots by launching our online store. We are excited about the launch because it will allow us the ability to form a direct relationship with the people who love our products and are proud to wear them.
