The name of our company comes from a very famous quote of the italian poet Gabriele D’Annunzio “Non ducor, duco” which means “I’m not driven, I lead”.
We have chosen the word “Ducor” as name of our company because we wanted to give with the idea “to be driven”. We like to think that companies choose to work with us because they are aware to be driven on the right direction and to what it’s the most coherent and strategic choice for their needs. We start from the graphic of the shoe, to the design, until the realization of the shoe. At the same time, we also like to be driven by the companies inside their reality in order to get to know them, make some analysis and help them develop the best products in the industry.
It’s only after this sharing process that we believe we will be able to lead.
