New Shoe Division

For the Spring/Summer 2027 season, the Munich-based agency Diekaufleute is expanding its portfolio to include its own shoe division. Two new shoe brands—Bloch and Piumha Studio—are joining the lineup, while Dragon Diffusion—known for its hand-woven leather bags—is expanding its range to include a new shoe collection designed by Jean-Michel Cazabat. 

With Bloch, Diekaufleute is adding a brand to its portfolio whose roots date back to 1932. Originating from the development of professional dance shoes, this long-established Australian brand now applies its decades of expertise to modern fashion footwear. Lightness, flexibility, and exceptional comfort define the collection, which combines the enduring ballerina trend with an authentic heritage. 

Piumha Studio takes a different approach. These sneakers, made in Italy, feature a minimalist design, exceptionally soft suede, and unlined construction. The result is a collection that lives up to its name—light as a feather and consistently focused on comfort. 

There is also great anticipation for the new shoe collection from Dragon Diffusion. The Belgian brand, which has made a name for itself internationally with its hand-woven leather bags, is presenting a collection for the Spring/Summer 2027 season designed by the renowned shoe designer Jean-Michel Cazabat. Cazabat has been one of the leading figures in the premium footwear sector for decades and brings his extensive expertise to the new line. The collection retains the brand’s signature handcrafted weaving and high-quality leatherwork, consistently translating the brand’s distinctive style to the shoe collection. 

With its new Shoe Division, Diekaufleute is not only expanding its portfolio but also responding to the growing demand for specialized premium shoe brands. From Dance Heritage to soft luxury sneakers to handcrafted leather styles, the new lineup brings together three distinct brands with clear identities—thereby creating a cohesive overall image for the premium retail sector.
