Diana Avila, also known in the art and design world as Donna Lace, began her career as a designer in 2008 when she decided to study Fashion Design at the Arturo Tejada University in Bogotá. Although her passion drew her from designing clothes to designing shoes, her family of shoemakers with 30 years of experience and her great teacher and father Paco Avila were a definite inspiration to pursue this path; This is how this great journey through the world of footwear and leather goods began, learning day by day from the family business, with great respect and love for the art of handmade shoes. Together with her mother, she decided to launch her own brand "BISSONI", a name that comes from the animal BISON, recognized for the incredible skin properties from the MUSTELA family, a genus of carnivorous mammals with exotic and very fine skins.
