The shoes that make up “The New Bottega veneta”
The Stretch Sandals
Daniel’s design ideology is completely reflected in the minimalist Stretch Sandals that bring the `breath` of the 90s. In the 2019 collection, square-toed sandals with ultra-thin nappa leather straps on the catwalk hit the spot.

The Lido Sandals
Enlarging the Intrecciato woven pattern with unique quilted leather fabrics, in the summer of 2020, Daniel launched a high heel model called Lido that `made waves` on the personal pages of artists and enthusiasts.

The Puddle Boots
When Daniel sent neon-colored rubber boots down the runway in 2020, the youthful, unconventional image never before seen at the Italian leather fashion house appeared incredulously.
