About the brand

Bally is a Swiss luxury fashion house founded in 1851 by Carl Franz Bally in Schönenwerd, Switzerland. What began as a family-run ribbon factory transformed into a pioneering global brand after Carl Franz was inspired by elegant shoes during a trip to Paris. For over 170 years, Bally has been synonymous with exceptional craftsmanship, producing high-quality footwear, leather goods, bags, and accessories. The brand prides itself on being 'leather architects,' combining traditional Swiss craftsmanship with contemporary design aesthetics. Bally's iconic pieces, like the men's Scribe shoe created in 1951, are still handmade in Switzerland using 240 artisanal techniques. The brand quickly gained international recognition, expanding globally as early as the 1870s with stores from Montevideo to Paris. Today, Bally continues to honor its timeless traditions while embracing modern innovation, maintaining its reputation as one of the world's most enduring luxury brands with a commitment to quality, functionality, and refined elegance.

Puck News

At Bally, his previous gig, Bellotti managed to create a cult item with very little support.

Who What Wear

I'm particularly fascinated by Bally's take, which blends the waisted silhouette that rose in popularity last spring (and is still prevalent).

Bally is a great brand. Wonderful designs, quality craftsmanship, and reasonable luxury prices.

Personally, I have new and old Bally. They're amazing bags. Well made, nice materials.

Sep, 2025

I believe this brand is so underrated because despite the age of the bag, it is still in excellent conditions.

Bally is a Swiss company , at least it used to be established in Switzerland. But, the shoes were made in Switzerland and Italy. High quality leather and good leather soles.

The many leather accessories are timeless, practical and beautiful, For footwear, Bellotti revisited archival styles (a buckled Mary Jane from 1923, an oxford lace-up from 1951, a "Ballyrina" flat from 1940), and made them feel very of-the-moment.

At Bally, Bellotti relied heavily on the house's archives. He reintroduced and reinterpreted designs dating back as early as 1923, including the brand's signature Ballyrina shoe. His collections emphasized heritage silhouettes, restrained tailoring, leather craftsmanship.

You won't see many reviews bc Bally doesn't really use influencers. I think the brand is more on the conservative side too.

Bally leather is gorgeous, as is this bag. Resale is terrible but if you like it then get it.

My mom had a Bally bag and the strap broke within a couple weeks.
