In 2021, DANT was honored to be commissioned by the Duterte family to design and craft a special line of shoes made from locally sourced crocodile leather. This exclusive project aimed to highlight both the richness of Philippine exotic materials and the refined craftsmanship of DANT’s atelier.
Each pair was meticulously handcrafted using premium native crocodile hides, emphasizing elegance, durability, and cultural heritage. The bespoke line reflected a shared vision of celebrating Filipino excellence — from raw materials to finished product — through timeless, luxurious design.
This collaboration stands as a proud milestone in DANT’s journey, reinforcing our commitment to creating pieces that are not only beautiful but deeply rooted in local artistry and identity.
