Italian golf fashion brand attracts high demand for summer & winter footwear
Duca del Cosma, the luxury Italian golf fashion brand, has more than doubled sales of its distinctive, award-winning golf shoes and boots in Canada over the past 12 months, as an increasing number of Canadian golfers appreciate the premium style and comfort they provide in both summer and winter months.
“Canada has one of the world’s most active golfing populations and we’ve seen an impressive increase in sales of our men’s and women’s shoes there since 2020,” said International Sales Director Diederik Moreu. “Earlier this year we appointed some very motivated sales representatives who are doing a great job – opening almost 40 new Pro Shop retail accounts – and we became an Approved Supplier to the BPG Buying Group with its 170 members across the country, plus began supplying courses among the prestigious ClubLink facilities,” he added.
Now travel restrictions have been lifted, Moreu is about to attend the BPG Buying Show in Ottawa that attracts around 75 of Canada’s leading golf retail outlets. “I’m looking forward to meeting existing and potential stockists and exploring what we need to put in place in order to keep up with the growing consumer demand for our products,” he said.
Among the Duca del Cosma shoes that have achieved exceptional sales are the sporty styles ESTI, FESTIVA and POSE styles for women and the ELDORADO brogue and MONTEROSSO models for men. In the winter golf boots category, the top-sellers are LORENZA and DELAGO. All the models are handcrafted in Europe from the finest Italian leather and incorporate recyclable inner soles for greater comfort and outsoles designed for optimum stability. They also come with two sets of laces to match different outfits.
According to Audrey Laplante, who represents the brand in the Montreal area, it’s the look as well as the quality of the Duca del Cosma product that is proving so popular. “The European styling of the Duca range is so different from traditional shoes and boots golfers in Canada are accustomed to seeing and they find it very refreshing,” said Audrey, who has opened more accounts at high-end courses this year than ever before.
Global sales of Duca del Cosma golf shoes and winter boots have also reached record levels this year as the brand’s range of quality, handcrafted shoes have received media recognition in Europe and the USA, where the office and showrooms are located in North Palm Beach, FL., supported by a distribution centre in Atlanta, GA. Other growth has come from visits to the brand’s webshop at www.ducadelcosma.com
