Our Story

Brandecosse have over thirty years of knowledge and experience of lace up boots.

Run By The Trueman family since 2008

The Trueman family started Brandecosse in Scotland in 2008, after being involved in waterproof footwear manufacturing since 1985. Even today, some of the most established premium brands in the country market turn to Brandecosse for technical, product engineering and commercial advice. So, we are constantly in-touch with the latest innovations and market trends.

From the very start, our aim has only ever been to develop a comprehensive range of country boots made to be the very best they can be. Cutting no corners, utilising only the finest materials and ensuring the fair reward of our highly skilled workforce who have put years into perfecting their craft. Producing hard-working boots, made to go that extra mile.

Separated by 1300 miles, but bound by a love of making the very best country boots money can buy.

Founded in 2008, the Trueman family started Brandecosse after over 30 years’ experience in the country footwear industry. Working for and with some of the biggest brands in the game, Mark and Jane started Brandecosse after Mark began his journey as a footwear manufacturing consultant.

It all began in small barn conversion in the small village of St Johns Town of Dalry in South West Scotland. It was small and cosy with just enough room for 3 desks and a small stock room on the bottom floor. Which, soon was to become full of our own range of country boots.

Europe’s Master Craftsmen

Denis and Maico Signor are quite simply life-long boot builders.

Founded in 1992 by brothers Dennis and Maico Signor, Calzaturificio Diemme. A family run business with skills and expertise passed down from their grandfather and on through three generations of boot makers.

Dennis first started working for a hunting boot manufacturer at the age of 13, honing his skills passed on from his Grandfather and perfecting his craft. When in 1992, alongside his brother Maico, they produced a small run of boots for a German distributor. And Calzaturificio Diemme was born.

Ever since, Dennis and Maico have seen their company grow in both the outdoor and fashion market. Known for their artisanal production with sustainability and craftsmanship at their core. Modern boots with traditional craftsmanship.

Made in Italy

Calzaturificio Diemme is the culmination of a desire to protect traditional boot making in the Alpine style and a determination to continue using a quality of materials that many have deemed too expensive to use.

Based in the foothills of the Italian Dolomites lies the Calzaturificio Diemme factory in Onè di Fonte, Veneto. A region of Italy, world renowned for its pedigree in the production and development of some of the finest alpine footwear.

Footwear production runs in the water of Veneto, and such a cluster of expertise and knowledge provides the means for every production step to be performed locally to the highest of standards. From the tanneries of the finest Anfibio leathers to the production of the one and only Vibram outsoles, found right on their doorstep.
