In the past 30 years, the brand has carved its path by picking up on international trends beforehand, having thorough expansion plans and being up-to-date on the latest materials, finishes and weaving techniques.
Equipo DRT strives to do better from the previous day, every day. A crucial part of their process is ensuring the designers they collaborate with are paid attention to, and communication is smooth as butter. This is the kind of brand that doesn’t stop until everyone involved – the designer, the end-user and they, themselves – is fully satisfied.
