FROM IDEA TO SAMPLE IN 90 DAYS.

 

Italian craftsmanship, end-to-end product leadership, zero MOQs.

We are a Milan-based footwear and fashion consultancy working alongside expert shoe manufacturers in Italy. Our team helps founders turn ideas into tangible products through Italian design, sourcing, and production, combining creativity with real industry know-how.

We mean IMPACT

This is where creativity meets purpose. At DYC, impact means more than sustainability. It’s about designing products that solve real problems for people and the planet. We partner with Italian shoe manufacturers who share our values of quality, circularity, and social inclusion, creating fashion that lasts and does good.

Our services are designed for founders who want to build footwear and fashion products with real Italian craftsmanship. From concept to production, we manage every stage in collaboration with trusted shoe manufacturers in Italy, ensuring precision, transparency, and scalability.

Built to be Produced

You make it with us, in Italy. Strategy, design, development, sourcing and production as one system, inside our own network of factories and artisans. Ninety days from sketch to sample, and the certainty that what you drew can actually be made.

Fractional Head of Product

You already produce in Italy. You are just not there. Your factory stays yours, and we become your team on the ground: the production calendar, the fittings, quality control before anything ships, and the honest version of what is really happening on the floor.

One-on-One Mentorship

You want judgement, not hands. Direct sessions with Diana on the decisions that shape a brand: what to make, what it should cost, who should make it, how to sell it. The eye of someone who has launched close to a hundred collections, before you commit to yours.
