On the golf course or the clubhouse veranda, looking good isn’t enough. Everyone wants to look better than the rest.
Today, the fairway is as competitive for fashion as it is for scoring birdies. Players showcase bold colorways, classic knits, and graphic performance polos. The clubhouse terrace has become a catwalk, with skorts, tops, logos, and even trendy visors stealing attention. The 19th hole remains a fashion show.
When Standard Isn’t Enough
A quarter-zip sweater works well in cool weather, but is it stylish enough? Vineyard Vines, Under Armour, or Cutter & Buck deliver quality, yet they feel predictable. Brands like Belyn Key, Tail, or Jamie Sadock push boundaries, but not always in the right direction. Bad Birdy may look fun, yet it can be too flirty for some club committees.
Golfers searching for something unique need a brand that balances performance, luxury, and personality. That’s where Duca del Cosma comes in.
Why Duca del Cosma?
Founded in 2004 by Italian designer Baldovino Mattiazzo and German creative Antje Elle, Duca del Cosma fuses Italian fashion with golf performance. The brand moved its base to Amsterdam after being acquired in 2016 by Frank van Wezel, a footwear icon who sold over 23 million pairs of HI-TEC squash shoes.
Since then, Duca del Cosma has redefined golf footwear. Its elegant, spikeless golf shoes feature non-slip outsoles, premium Nappa leather, soft linings, and fun-colored laces. They transition effortlessly from the course to the clubhouse, making them as stylish for dinner as they are functional on the green.
Fashion That Turns Heads
Want to stand out on the first tee? Announce yourself as a King Cheetah, a zebra, or even a giraffe. Duca del Cosma’s playful prints and bold styles make golf fashion fun again.
One standout accessory is the kiltie — a detachable, colorful flap you can add to your shoes. Beyond flair, kilties also protect laces from dirt, mud, and water. Available in multiple colors, they let you personalize your look and keep your shoes tournament-ready.
Collections with Purpose
Duca del Cosma’s women’s line includes standout models like the Lucia and Chiara. These polos, made from bamboo charcoal and recycled Repreve® polyester, combine sustainability with performance. Golfers can feel good on the course while making an eco-conscious choice.
The vibrant Aviva Collection takes that commitment further. For every pair of Aviva shoes sold, Duca donates to the Hoedspruit Endangered Species Centre. This initiative supports the conservation of the critically endangered King Cheetah. Co-owner Caroline van Wezel champions the cause, making every purchase part of something bigger.
Iconic Footwear Styles
Duca del Cosma’s shoe lineup is as varied as the personalities on the course. Choices include:
-
Belladonnas in cognac and white or navy and blue.
-
Oliveras in lime and grey.
-
Palazzos in taupe.
-
Sabrinas in cognac or white/gold.
-
Padovas in white/gold.
-

Each design blends Italian elegance with modern golf performance.
Beyond the Course
Duca del Cosma isn’t just about shoes. Its premium polos and accessories bring Italian panache into every aspect of the game. Whether in the sand trap or the rough, golfers can showcase a refined yet playful edge.
