How did you start Del Toro and why?
"Del Toro started in Palm Beach six years ago. Myself and two friends wanted bespoke slippers to commemorate our boarding school experience during graduation, but we soon realized that our only option was upwards of $900 and would take 9-12 months.

A lot has changed since that original idea, but that that is how I got my foot in the door in the industry. I founded it with two friends but took it over three years ago from them and changed the vision significantly. Our original business model was bespoke velvet slippers and it has evolved enormously ever since. We had one style shoe and color to start, and I have close to 50 different products of shoes and belts. It shows where and how we are developing. My vision now is honing Del Toro as a luxury lifestyle brand."
