But we make them using leather, which is a living substance to me. And behind each shoe and bag, which in itself may be attractive and useful and comfortable to carry and wear, there is this Italian spirit, this Italian dream.  (Diego Della Valle Quotes) I worked in the family business, which was my father’s shoe making company that he had inherited from his father, and that led me to become interested in what could be achieved by a great Italian brand. That became my ambition as a young man.  (Diego Della Valle Quotes) When I am walking in Central Park, I recognize the Italians. Because an Italian, even when he jogs, he’s dressed perfect  (Diego Della Valle Quotes) I need to have a quick wardrobe.
