The Maison A craft,
a family.
Since 1978 the Danilo Damiani atelier has kept alive in Naples the art of the handmade shoe. Three generations, one single principle: a shoe is an artisan’s gesture, not a product.
The origins
From luxury ateliers to our own name
Where it all began
The first workbench
Danilo Damiani opens his atelier in Naples with a few tools, many hides and a method learned from the masters of the old school.
Makers for the great brands
For years we crafted shoes for the most prestigious luxury maisons, measuring ourselves against the highest quality standards.
The choice to sign our work
We decided to sell directly under our own name: a shorter, more transparent and sustainable supply chain that gives artisan work its true value.
Our values
What we believe in
Principles that guide every choice, from the leather to the client.
Authenticity
No outsourcing, no shortcuts. Every shoe is truly handmade, in Naples.
Durability
We build shoes that are resoled and handed down. The opposite of throwaway.
Natural material
Only fine white-crust leathers, dyed and patinated entirely by hand, chosen skin by skin.
Depth of colour
Three dyeing processes and a Saphir wax polish: nuances industrial colour will never know.
Naples
Our atelier, our masters, our school. A craft rooted in its territory.
Discretion
A quiet luxury, recognisable only to those who know how to look at the details.
Sustainability
A luxury that lasts, and is repaired
Our commitment
Short supply chain
Selling under our own name shortens the chain: fewer intermediaries, less waste, more transparency.
Resoleable Blake construction
A shoe that is cared for and handed down over the years, not thrown away.
Distribution
The Danilo Damiani brand is distributed by Dino Draghi S.r.l.
