This is not when the story begins, but this is the point where it turns into an adventure. Passions evolved into designs from this point on, spread around the world from Izmir.
It was the time when online shopping was taking its baby steps. We made a radical decision despite the ones who say, "You can't shop online". We opened www.dogostore.com
Our e-commerce life continued in alternative online channels, especially in Markafoni - Turkey's leading private shopping club.
Design is our greatest passion! Achieving the result of long-term R&D studies in 2010, we printed our passion on shoes by unique materials. We produced the very first vegan leather printed shoe in the world - through the innovative technique of our creation.
We franchised our first store near the Galata Tower - of which architecture mesmerizes us. Our export Middle East operations started in online channels while our distributorship adventure began in Europe.
They adored DOGO in Europe. The number of our European DOGO stores grew thanks to deep interest and increasing demand apace.
Our one-of-a-kind DOGO designs are soon recognized not only in our country but also abroad. Koala has become one of our cult designs. You can still run across our koala design around the world.
With the increase in our brand awareness - we found 100% DOGO subsidiaries in the Netherlands in 2016 and then in Italy and France.
