What is Dfour?
Dfour is an Italian brand of leather jackets. It was created in 2019 by the brothers Aldo and Fabio D'Agostino to diversify the family's third-party manufacturing business. Aldo manages manufacturing and commercial operations, and Fabio is the brand's designer.
Products and production
The brand's product is the leather jacket. Production is described as fully internal, carried out at the company's site in Nola's CIS, a commercial centre near Naples. The site covers 2,000 square metres and employs 15 people, and the company has renewed its machinery. It previously operated in central Naples and in Casandrino.
Distribution
Dfour aims to own a brand rather than depend on outside orders, and it is building its position in the wholesale market. It sells in central and southern Italy, and has begun to sell in Germany and Spain. The company has exhibited at Pitti Uomo, partly to reach Asian buyers, especially from Japan and Korea.
Why it matters
Dfour is a typical example of an Italian contract manufacturer moving up the value chain by launching its own label, using existing production know-how to build a brand identity.
