Del Toro Their Latest Fine Italian Fall Trends
We might be heading into fall, but one thing remains constant regardless of the season: Del Toro shoes are always in style. This fine Italian shoe company’s Creative Director, Emma Greenbaum, gives us a glimpse into the latest S’S ’22 collection. “This collection introduced new colorways inspired by Claude Nori’s ‘An Italian Summer,’ dreamy Italian coastal hotels like the Splendido and Il Pellicano, and the joy and ease of days spent by the sea that end in three-hour-long dinners,” explains Greenbaum. “As soon as we saw the samples, we knew they had to be photographed in Italy, where they were born. We chose one of our favorite photographers and a dear friend of the brand, Alberto Chimenti, who has spent his whole life in Torino, Italy, to shoot the campaign. He traveled from Relais Villa Pomela to Varazze highlighting the Italian nature of the shoes.”
In addition to a new line based on the dreamy streets of Italy and the brand’s beloved bold colors, they are also working on creating a dog line called ‘Dogtoro,’ as they expand their lifestyle lines and continue the tradition of carrying out philanthropic efforts. “We’ll be partnering with ‘Love of all Dogs’ in Brooklyn and donating a portion of all sales from the new line to their rescue organization.”
Greenbaum also explains that Del Toro is committed to ensuring that they differentiate themselves from other shoe brands. “It’s important to me that we push the boundaries with unusual collaborations, unique colorways, and new styles that continue to uphold the elements and qualities that make them a ardrobe staple. We also want to create a community with our Del Toro customer base and strive to anchor our collections and campaigns to interesting references and inspirations that will resonate with our particular customers and serve as conversation starters.”
With quality at the forefront of everything they do, all of their collections are inspired by the rich heritage and timeless style of the Italian velvet slipper. Del Toro’s products are all handmade in
Italy, in Naples and Milan, with an uncompromising commitment to craftsmanship and quality. Their customer is someone who is passionate about craftsmanship, art, and design and has an inquiring mind about the world around them, all the while pursuing effortless elegance when it comes to dressing, and they continue to evolve to appeal to all types of shoe wearers.
“While many people know us for our Velvet Tuxedo slipper, we love using our campaigns to showcase how we have something (sneakers, hats, and more loafers) for everyone and the everyday and giving our customers a jumping-off point to see how we believe our products belong in the world and add to their quality of life.”
