About Us

Authentically Italian, Marco Delli was born and raised in Milan, the fashion capital of the world. His career began far from home as an engineer in North Africa and South America, where he developed a worldly perspective and sharpened his creative eye. Returning to Italy, Marco immersed himself in furniture and interiors before channeling his passion into fashion, launching his first line of premium leatherwear.

Relocating to Los Angeles, Marco introduced his namesake label In 1990, where his signature footwear quickly found a home in top boutiques and among a cult celebrity following that included Lenny Kravitz, Elton John, Will Smith, Sharon Stone, Rod Stewart, Eva Mendes, and Madonna. His work has been celebrated in Vogue, Vanity Fair, Cosmopolitan, W, WWD, Elle, and more, solidifying his place in the luxury footwear world.

Today, the Marco Delli brand is defined by a bold fusion of Western heritage, Rock ’n’ Roll edge and Vintage charm—a natural evolution of Marco’s lifelong fascination with cowboy culture, vintage Americana, and Rock 'n' roll music. Each pair is handmade in Italy, but infused with the creative yet rebellious spirit.

Alongside his own collections, Marco has collaborated with global fashion houses including Creative Recreation, Vespa, Verri, Taryn Rose, Bacco Bucci, Italian Cowboy, and Alegria, bringing decades of expertise to the international stage. With his singular vision and unwavering dedication to craftsmanship, Marco Delli continues to create footwear for free spirits who embrace artistry, authenticity, and attitude.
