About Us

Born and raised in Milan, the fashion capital of the world, Marco Delli embodies authentic Italian artistry and innovation. Drawn beyond the city, Marco’s journey began as an structural engineer, working in remote landscapes across North Africa and South America. These formative years refined his creative vision, exposing him to diverse cultures and international markets.

Upon returning to Milan, Marco fused his passion for design and engineering, turning his attention to furniture and interiors. Yet, his creative spirit could not be contained. Fashion called, and Marco answered—launching his first line of premium leatherwear. This venture would eventually lead him to Los Angeles in the 90s, where the iconic Marco Delli label was born.

In the U.S., Marco’s designs quickly captivated the luxury fashion scene. His meticulously crafted leather footwear, celebrated for its bold elegance and contemporary edge, found a home in high-end boutiques. As demand surged, so did the label’s visibility, attracting A-list clientele, including legends like Lenny Kravitz, Elton John, Will Smith, Rod Stewart, Eva Mendes, Sharon Stone, and Madonna.

Marco Delli footwear received consistent features in top editorial outlets such as L’Uomo Vogue, Vogue Pelle, Vanity Fair, Elle, Moda Pelle, Cosmopolitan, W, WWD, DNR, the Los Angeles Times, Ocean Drive, E! Entertainment, and NBC.

With decades of experience navigating the intricate luxury goods marketplace, Marco has cultivated an impeccable savoir-faire for branding and a rare ability to connect with those who truly appreciate fine, handcrafted Italian goods.

Today, the Marco Delli brand reflects Marco's enduring fascination with Western wear, his deep-rooted love for Rock 'n' Roll, and the cultural richness of his global travels. Specializing in handmade shoes crafted with old-world techniques and modern treatment methods, each piece is a conceptual, wearable work of art. The brand celebrates the unexpected, blending luxury leathers with innovative finishes to create collections that redefine contemporary fashion.

Marco Delli isn’t just a label—it’s a legacy of craftsmanship, passion, and bold artistic expression.
