VINTAGE IS MODERN

FSNYE here in New York City back in June brought together truly the best high-end shoe collections you can find nationwide and globally. It’s very common for the generic shoe market to miss out on all the great technologies and details their niche counterparts are able to design. There’s also the discovery that a shoe donned out of the past can stay as is, and its original beauty and detail cannot be changed. Yes, all that is true, but Diba True takes a vintage shoe to add exciting detail that makes a classic as modern as ever.

Diba True is an absolutely original shoe where it relies on true craftsmanship to build a stylish shoe that’s not only fully functional, but fashionable and comfortable. Creating a vintage shoe with modern details takes a family of effort, you get beautiful cuts of freshly new and distressed leather paired with brand-new metallic detail found on stylish boots, ballet flats, sandals, and platform high heels. Whether it’s an open mid-heel sandal or a closed back flat sandal, pattern-like breathable semi-open sandals come back in its classic bold colors with little need for detail except a multicolored design. Also very notable with Diba True are their metallic plated offerings found on simply comfortable open-toe sandals, plus classic metal detail and metallic painted internal high heels.

Under the Diba True umbrella are 2 additional shoe brands that are Famolare and the standalone offspring brand called Diba. Famolare takes the common classic dress shoe to create wearable footwear that’s flexible, comfortable, stylish, and fashionable, using soles that absorb impact without pain at the end of the day. Diba, a child of Diba True, continues the classic vintage and modern details with current styles infused along with classic leather shine, high heels, and suede ballet flats.

Diba True with its storied family history goes all out to design a shoe that bridges old-school shoe materials with new details to create a shoe that’s always classic and modern. Plus, Diba True is tariff-competitive with their sourcing and materials, so their price point stays sane but still high standard. There’s also strong belief that the age of sweats and staying at home is coming to an end, and women are finding their way back to dressing up again.
