Bally Fall Winter 2011 Men’s Accessories

Founded in 1851 in Switzerland by Carl Franz Bally and his brother Fritz in the basement of their family home in Switzerland, Bally has a long-standing history riddled with the excitement of surviving the Great Depression and the difficulties of World War II to expand successfully into the North American market in the post-war era. And that was when the brand really took off; from shoes, they moved on to clothing, handbags and other leather accessories.

The Bally Fall Winter 2011 Accessories Collection for men is an updated collection of the classic Bally traits: a sweep of the brand’s trainspotting stripe and buttery soft leather trimmed to form stylish shapes. And it’s this amalgamation between age-old craftsmanship skills and new creative forces that have edged the Swiss heritage house up to a brand propositioning modern luxury.

Here are some of our favourites. You can thank Michael Herz and Graeme Fidler (the creative directors for Bally Man) and us later.
