Diemme

Handmade shoes from Montebelluna, Italy, the region where hiking boots have been made since the beginning of time.

Here, two brothers and their 30 employees have built a factory focused on one thing: making quality leather shoes. With comfort as their priority, they have been making shoes for more than 25 years. They started out with hiking boots before major brands such as Chanel, Gucci and Maison Margiela noticed their dedication to craftsmanship and quality. That took them all the way to the fashion scene in Japan, where Kyrre Alver and Magnus Thorud came across the shoes for the first time.

It was love at first sight, and several pairs were bought to bring back home. They loved how Diemme had struck the perfect balance between style and quality.
Once back in Norway, a request was sent right away to become the brand's agent in Scandinavia.

Several years have passed, but the partnership has only grown, and the focus remains the same: creating shoes from premium materials that exude quality and comfort.

Every shoe is made to order, and there is a limit to how many pairs the factory can produce each year. We at MODO make sure to place orders for the styles we believe will be a hit that season.

In recent years, Diemme has become a sought-after partner for collaborations and has worked with the likes of Ganni, Stone Island, Vans, Burton, Stoy, YME, Caliroots, Diadora, Pealed, FWSS, Carhartt and Tres Bien.

Over time the shoes have become even more refined. Only the very best leather available is used, and you can always count on one thing never changing at DIEMME: handmade quality shoes crafted from premium materials, inspired by the mountains surrounding Montebelluna.
