Our Story
A journey of elegance, craftsmanship, and the timeless beauty of pearls
The Beginning
Belmond was born from a passion for the ethereal beauty of pearls and a dedication to preserving traditional craftsmanship. Founded in the artisan quarters of Florence, our story began with a simple belief: that true luxury lies in the harmony between natural beauty and human artistry.
Our founder, inspired by the lustrous depths of cultured pearls, envisioned handbags that would capture and reflect light like jewels, creating accessories that are both functional art and timeless elegance.

Masterful Craftsmanship
Each Belmond handbag is a testament to meticulous craftsmanship and timeless design. From the initial sketch to the final polish, our artisans devote months to perfecting every detail. Each pearl is individually selected, examined for clarity and luster, and hand-set with precision to achieve flawless symmetry and enduring brilliance.
Our process honors traditional techniques passed down through generations, blended seamlessly with modern innovation. This careful balance allows us to create pieces that feel both contemporary and enduring, designed to be cherished for years rather than seasons.
We work exclusively with sustainably sourced freshwater and cultured pearls, partnering with responsible pearl farms that uphold the highest standards of environmental care and ethical labor. By prioritizing mindful sourcing and slow, intentional production, every Belmond creation reflects not only refined luxury, but also respect for the world from which it comes.
Timeless Elegance
Our designs transcend fleeting fashion trends, focusing instead on creating pieces that will be treasured for generations. Each handbag is conceived as an heirloom, thoughtfully balancing refined proportions, enduring materials, and exquisite detailing. By blending classical silhouettes with innovative pearl applications, we create designs that feel both familiar and forward-looking, celebrating elegance that never fades with time.
From intimate evening clutches to spacious daily totes, every Belmond creation embodies our philosophy: that true luxury is both beautiful and enduring.
Beyond aesthetics, timeless elegance lies in thoughtful design and lasting quality. Each Belmond handbag is created to accompany life's moments, adapting effortlessly from day to evening and from season to season.
