BALLY | 160th Anniversary Special!

Founded in Schönenwerd, Switzerland, BALLY has consistently pursued innovation and modernity throughout its long history. From the revolutionary men's shoe "Scribe" shoe to recent collaborations with students from London's Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design, and participation in Art Basel and Art Basel Miami Beach, as well as a collaboration with Zurich University of the Arts, the brand has continuously undertaken groundbreaking projects. In 2011, the year of its 160th anniversary, Bally is poised for further evolution. The brand's inherent luxury is not about heaviness or antiquity, but rather a cleaner, more modern update suited to contemporary lifestyles. What is the true value of Bally, the "Swiss luxury leather house"?
