ヨーロッパの古い伝統と文化の中で生まれ、今やファッションアイテムとしても多く受け入れられている木靴 sabotに 高いファッション性と季節感を持たせ進化させた靴のブランドです。
本来sabotの持つ民族的な伝統と文化を大切に考え、様々な角度から再構築した木底を中心としたオリジナルソールを使用。ソールとアッパーのバランス、装飾、素材の変化によって程よいリラックス感を活かしながらも全く新しい靴を提案します。
It’s origins are in the folk-culture and traditions of Europe’s past while today the sabot or wooden clog has become a desirable contemporary fashion item. Durbuy is a brand of footwear that channels high fashion and seasonal stylings in to the evolution of the classic sabot design.
The Durbuy ethos preserves the traditional qualities of the sabot’s rich cultural and ethnic heritage as its inspiration while redesigning the wooden sole in a variety of original ways as the core feature of its footwear, Which also includes wedge, boot & pump designs.
-Innovations in the choice of raw materials, decorative aesthetic and the balance between sole and upper offer a completely new kind of wooden-soled shoe while granting just the right amount of comfort.
デザイナー/ディレクター 中津由利加 １９８４年生まれ 福岡県出身, 某アパレル会社を勤務後、ロンドンに渡る。その後ヨーロッパ各国を巡り、様々な国のファッション、歴史、文化に触れることで、独自の世界観を築く。
帰国後、再びアパレル会社にて、バイヤー・ショップマネージャーとして勤務。
クリエイターたちとの交友も広く、多彩な刺激を受け、２００９年４月に、靴ブランドdurbuyをモンドコーポーレションよりリリース。民族的かつ大衆的なイメージが強いsabotに着眼し、アッパーを変化させることで全く新しい木靴を提案した。最近では靴以外に、durbuy productsラインとしてサングラス、バッグ等を発表の他、ALM、sladky、BASQUINEなど数々のブランドとのコラボレーションも展開している。
エレガントでモードなニュアンス感をもたせながら、リアルな作品づくりに意欲的に取り組む。
- Designer / Director Yurika Nakatsu (born in 1984) hails from the city of Fukuoka in Japan. After several years working with a well known apparel company in her native land, she moved to London and from there travelled around various European countries, sampling the fashion, history and culture of each locale and forming her own individual vision and aesthetic in the process.
After returning home to Japan, Yurika returned to work in the apparel industry, this time as a buyer and shop manager.
Inspired and stimulated by close working relationships with various creators and designers, she finally launched the Durbuy footwear brand through the Mondo Corporation in April 2004.Centring around the clog and its popular folk appeal, Yurika’s transformation of the upper has produced a completely new kind of wooden shoe for the modern fashion market. Not limiting herself to footwear alone, she has recently begun to branch out, showcasing sunglasses and handbag designs under the Durbuy label while also working on collaborations with brands such as ALM, Sladky and BASQUINE.
Yurika Nakatsu’s vision, embodied in her Durbuy label, tirelessly pursues authentic creation and innovation while maintaining a chic and elegant approach.
