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.
