In the early Eighties, a group of friends on the island of Elba started to assemble almost by chance, belts and bags in natural cowhide and recycled materials. They created handmade, unique and now-legendary items like the Spazzatura belt, decorated with recycled waste, the Tribu belt, embroidered with a family of stylized stick figures, and the collection made using recycled cans commissioned by Comme de Garcons. This entertaining pastime took a serious turn, and the Henry Beguelin brand was born; however its spirit has never changed; objects crafted by hand with ancient mastery, timeless pieces that are always current because they go beyond the concept of short-lived "fads" to become the expression of real luxury.
