The Journey Born from a Dream

In 1999, in a small shed on the outskirts of the city, amid the scent of leather and the sound of sewing machines, Ilyas Danilov began his journey. He had only one table, a few tools, and a great dream — to create shoes that would last for years.

His first customers were friends and neighbors who believed in his vision. Each pair was crafted with meticulous attention to detail, laying the foundation for what would become a legendary brand in luxury footwear.

This was not merely shoemaking. This was the beginning of an artistic journey, the birth of a legacy, the first steps toward creating footwear that would walk through decades of excellence.
