It was called Ducale because they manufactured luxury items for an aristocratic client\u00e8le. After all, it was located in central Italy, where medieval dukes fostered a culture of art, craft and trade. In a few years, this workshop became an enterprise, and in 1973 Doucal\u2019s was founded with an English-sounding name reflecting the aspirations of an Italian man who appreciated the style and quality of British footwear[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/3&#8243;]<div class=\"project-details\"><div class=\"pt40\"><p><strong>Brand:<\/strong> Doucal<\/p><p><strong>Region:<\/strong> Italy<\/p><\/div><\/div>[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column]<div class=\"relative mb20\"><div class=\"swiper-1 swiper-module\"><div class=\"swiper-wrapper\"><div class=\"swiper-slide\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/diplomattailoring.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/slider-ducal-001.jpg\" alt=\"slider-ducal-001\"><a href=\"https:\/\/diplomattailoring.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/slider-ducal-001.jpg\" class=\"mp-gallery-1\" title=\"slider-ducal-001\"><div class=\"gallery-button right\"><\/div><\/a><\/div><div class=\"swiper-slide\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/diplomattailoring.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/slider-ducal-002.jpg\" alt=\"slider-ducal-002\"><a href=\"https:\/\/diplomattailoring.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/slider-ducal-002.jpg\" class=\"mp-gallery-1\" title=\"slider-ducal-002\"><div class=\"gallery-button right\"><\/div><\/a><\/div><div class=\"swiper-slide\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/diplomattailoring.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/slider-ducal-003.jpg\" alt=\"slider-ducal-003\"><a href=\"https:\/\/diplomattailoring.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/slider-ducal-003.jpg\" class=\"mp-gallery-1\" title=\"slider-ducal-003\"><div class=\"gallery-button right\"><\/div><\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"swiper-1-pag swiper-module-pagination\"><\/div><div class=\"swiper-1-nb swiper-module-button-next\"><\/div><div class=\"swiper-1-pb swiper-module-button-prev\"><\/div><\/div>[\/vc_column][vc_column css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1492096512313{margin-bottom: 20px !important;}&#8221;][\/vc_column][vc_column][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Mario Giannini actually went to Northampton and visited the British shoe-manufacturing district for a Goodyear workmanship project. He learnt all the secrets of the various construction methods and was able to identify the main features of English style, which was so influential on the European market in the Seventies. When he came back home after his training stint, he instilled in his small firm all the commitment and respect for work that he had seen and admired on the factory floors in Great Britain. Nevertheless, Doucal\u2019s was and will always be a quintessentially Italian company, with that sense of aesthetics, subtlety and etherealness that is so often found in Italy[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row full_width=&#8221;stretch_row_content_no_spaces&#8221;][vc_column][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1491563845596{padding-top: 120px !important;padding-bottom: 120px !important;}&#8221;][vc_column width=&#8221;2\/3&#8243;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1695033862477{padding-top: 20px !important;}&#8221;]In 1968, Mario Giannini opened an artisanal shoemaking workshop in the heart of the Marche region of Italy.
