The story of a brand
It is a tale of adventure that started back in 1897 based on the skill and creativity of a resourceful master cobbler, which has continued for over one hundred years with commitment, tenacity and all Italian passion.
Dolomite has been shaped by true adventure. The first in 1954: an Italian expedition group started the mission to conquer the K2 in the Himalaya mountains - one of the most dangerous peak in the world - they were equipped with Dolomite boots. Many other expeditions followed: from Groenlandia in 1966, the ascent of the great Fitz Roy peak in Patagonia in 1976, to the last charity “challenge” Rangdum 2011. It is to these extraordinary traditions that Dolomite owes its unique knowledge and great experience, which you can feel in every piece of the collection.
In exclusive Cortina d’Ampezzo, a journey begins
Dolomite is more than just apparel. It is a way of feeling, a way of living. It is passion for life in the open air, an understanding of nature, a sensitivity for all that its magnificent scenery can evoke in a person. It is the Italian sense of beauty, the talent to recognise it and transform it into an “essential”. It is the pleasure of sharing these emotions with others seeking the same exclusivity.
Dolomite begins its journey in Cortina, the beating heart of the Dolomites, setting out along its glistening paths, over the fresh snow. And mapping out the path of a new story: a new Dolomite True Story.
The story continues. The new collection.
A journey in search of beauty. Among the cult locations in Cortina, a unique style, full of innovative colours and materials, motifs and details that exude quality, elegance and a strong personality.
Our Milestones
Karakorum 1954
Karakorum 1954 has plenty of character. This line is inspired by the great conquest of K2, when, for the first time in history, Italian mountaineers Compagnoni and Lacedelli reached the peak, with Dolomite mountaineering boots. Exhaustion, strength, courage, sensations. And the protection of Dolomite.
Groenlandia 1966
From the historic Greenland expedition of 1966, the idea of a line with a high functional content that never detracts from its style. Jackets designed to cope with the harshest of climates, customized with original patches to depict the feat.
Groenlandia 1966 is protective performance combined with the flavour of a legend.
Fitz Roy 1976
In 1976 Dolomite was a part of the great Fitz Roy ascent. Fitz Roy 1976 expresses the same competency that contributed to the success of that excursion: in-depth knowledge of materials, the drive for excellence, and an audacious style.
Rangdum 2011
The line inspired by the new Dolomite challenge: to give all the children of Rangdum, in the Himalayan Zanskar valley, the opportunity of a proper education. Clothes designed for travel and leisure, built using innovative materials, the fruit of sustainable, environmentally friendly choices. Details, patches and embroidery depict the places and traditions of this remarkable exploit.
