As a result, business was very good to begin with, but in 1984, after working together for three or four years, the two separated to form their own companies. Pun Dai Lee continued Dumu Enter-prises, producing Verde Jeans, whilst Lu Fong Chih set up her own designer label.
因此剛起步時，生意不錯，合作三、四年後，兩人在民國七十三年時各立門戶，潘黛麗繼續經營杜牧公司，推出「VERDE JEANS」服飾，呂芳智也成立了個人的設計師品牌。
