The photo shows a fully loaded truck in the middle of Valletta. One of the Darmanin 4th generation cousins is seen handing out shoe boxes filled with new-stock shoes to one of the Darmanin brothers from the balcony.
‘The balcony used to come rather handy at the time’, continues Darmanin Footwear. ‘Needless to say, our stock handling system changed significantly since then’.
