Bally is a Swiss luxury house founded in 1851 by brothers Carl Franz and Fritz Bally in Schönenwerd, now headquartered in Caslano. It builds its business on leather footwear and accessories: Scribe loafers, Curling sneakers, and structured bags marked by the red-and-white striped webbing. Ready-to-wear supports the accessories core. In August 2024 JAB Holding sold the brand to Beverly Hills investment firm Regent LP, whose portfolio includes Escada and Club Monaco. Bally trades through roughly 300-plus boutiques and wholesale doors across 60 countries.
