When the feet are uncomfortable, so is the mind
and body." With these words, Donald J Pliner has committed his life to the
quality and perfection of an innovative line of shoes. A life-long and family
tradition is continued with his luxuriously comfortable footwear that never
compromises creativity or fashion.
“If the feet are uncomfortable, so is the
mind and so is the body.”
Did you know?
In 1989, Donald launched his own line of footwear and accessories which has
since grown dramatically in popularity. Manufactured in Italy and Spain, Donald
J Pliner designs luxury comfort footwear for men and women, as well as
leatherwear, handbags, belts, eyewear, and hosiery. Recently, Donald launched
the Friends of BabyDoll Pliner collection for dogs under 20 pounds who can
travel on the plane and not below. It includes coats, leashes, collars,
harnesses, sweaters, and carriers.
Who wears Donald J Pliner?
Men and women ages 18-80 wear Donald J Pliner. His shoes talk…they tell their
fathers, grandmothers, bosses, sisters, lovers, uncles, and friends about
themselves. It’s about an attitude, fashion, and comfort all at the same
time. Donald designs shoes to take people from day to night, from the office to
an event, from the beach to a black-tie gala…there is something for everyone.
For the truly fashion-forward there are complete looks from head-to-toe. Shoes,
handbags, and leatherwear with coordinating outfits for our four-legged friends
is a definite fashion do!
What kinds of styles does Donald design?
Each fall and spring collection includes about 150 women’s and 50 men’s
styles. These can be divided into eight lines or categories of footwear such as
basics, casual, dress, sport, tailored, couture, western, and sport travel
which uses a patented air-touch system for increased support and comfort.
Donald uses a wide variety of materials such as baby calf, suede, shine calf,
various elastics, patent, nubuck, nappa stretch, haircalf, oilskin calf,
distressed metallic, satin, and velvet. The styles are always produced in basic
colors as well as signature hues for each season like tang, fuchsia, and
cinnamon for spring 2004. There are two lines of handbags; the couture
collection coordinates with the footwear, while the other collection is
designed as stand-alone statement pieces. The Friends of BabyDoll Pliner line
always matches the season’s collection-and everyone wants their pup to have
panache!
