Don Diego responds to a climate of uncertainty with massive soles that enhance the timeless boot, an established trend in recent years
Innovations from Don Diego at Lineapelle confirm a now consolidated trend: thick bottoms once again dominate the winter scene in a confrontation on equal terms between boots and ankle boots with a decisive stride and a dark soul, because black fascinates day and night. “Alongside prototypes for selected clients,” says entrepreneur Diego Donati, “trends are affected by the uncertainty of the international economic outlook conditioned by heightened geopolitical tensions and an unfavorable financial situation for families and businesses. Customers are disoriented, so the choices point to products that instill security.” Clean, essential and simple lines, lightness and comfort declined on platforms and wide heels are the must-have of every wardrobe for their timeless versatility in a contemporary context. With street style as a guide, “the Texan boot is also very much in demand,” adds Diego Donati, “a fashion icon that, although in constant evolution in terms of heel and shape, knows no decline.”
The company based in Porto Potenza Picena (Macerata), the heart of the Marche footwear district, is a stable presence at the fair and a sure reference point for customized service and a product with an excellent quality/price ratio, made with passion and creativity, and in full respect of environmental sustainability.
