General Manager: Henry Beguelin

About the Brand

Born on the island of Elba in the early ‘80s, Henry Beguelin began as an artisanal experiment among friends, crafting distinctive leather goods from natural and recycled materials. What started with belts soon expanded to bags, shoes, furniture, and apparel—always maintaining a commitment to tradition, quality, and uniqueness. The signature stick figure, hand-stitched in waxed thread, remains a mark of authenticity and craftsmanship.

Every Henry Beguelin piece is meticulously handcrafted using traditional techniques passed down through generations. Skilled artisans use time-honored tools—awls, engraving machines, and hand-sewn waxed threads—to create products that are truly unique, celebrating imperfections as a hallmark of individuality and artisanal excellence.
