DUO is for women who love great design, enjoy expressing their individuality through footwear, who want to reference trends but not slavishly follow them.
Tailoring the fit of elegantly designed shoe and boot collections distinguishes the DUO brand. Our in-house designers collaborate with independent European factories to create a distinctive design hand-writing; on-trend, sophisticated styling uniquely made-to-measure, with boots in up to 21 calf sizes and shoes in 3 widths.
The brand’s lasting quality and innovative personal service, set against a backdrop of relaxed glamour, aim to create special and unique shopping experiences.
