About the brand.

Founded in 1999 in Fossombrone, Italy, Dondup is known for its 100% Made in Italy ready-to-wear collections for men and women. The brand blends traditional craftsmanship with contemporary design, offering high-quality fashion rooted in Italian excellence. Each piece reflects a commitment to authenticity, detail, and timeless style. Dondup stands as a modern expression of Italy’s rich fashion heritage.

In 2021, Dondup began a new phase of growth after Made in Italy Fund acquired a majority stake in the brand. Led by CEO Matteo Anchisi, the company has restructured its operations to expand globally while staying true to its Italian roots.
