About Dondup

Dondup is an Italian label founded in 1999 in Fossombrone, in the Marche region, and its men's and women's ready-to-wear is made entirely in Italy. Denim sits at the heart of the range, which spans jeans, trousers, dresses and accessories, with well-developed forms, good materials and close attention to detail. The name comes from Mingyar Dondup, a Tibetan lama who lived by the idea that all men are equal, a principle the founders, Massimo Berloni and Manuela Mariotti, have carried into the brand. Since 2021 the Made in Italy Fund has held a majority stake, and the house has been expanding its structure. For a contemporary cut with a maverick streak, Dondup is well worth a look.
