Chocolate? Cheese? Cows? Clocks? After living seven years in Zurich and Lausanne, I can attest there is so much more to this landlocked country than the usual suspects! Delve in and discover an iconic brand that’s been cobbled into their cobbled streets long before design became cool: Bally.
The luxury Swiss label, crystallized 170 years ago in the Alps, delivers uncompromising Swiss style, elevated craftmanship, superior innovation, and heritage stitched into each piece, ranging from shoes, accessories, ready-to-wear, and eyewear.
Passionate about encapsulating nature in its brand, it’s polished, off-piste chic at its finest.
Here are my top Bally recommendations for Autumn/Winter and why they should be blessing everyone’s closet:
1-2.
Manifest elegance and charm to every occasion with the timeless Beckie Cross-Body Bag enhanced with the B-Chain signature hardware. Wear this piece with your favorite pair of jeans and a down jacket for a casual vibe, or bring on the chic with this B-Chain Silk Bandeau effortlessly tied to the side of the handle.
The heritage red of the scarf makes an exquisite willing accomplice against the rich hue of the bag.
Complete the look with Desia Pumps, a long, black, soft leather coat over a champagne-tinted satin tunic and tailored creased trousers in a moody shade of walnut.
3.
Why am I pining hard for the Calie Tote? Not only does it store a 13″ laptop, but throw in a pair of ballerinas, a makeup bag, and your lunch, and you’re set for the morning commute. For travel, it stows perfectly under the seat in front of you when on the plane. The central zipped compartment keeps everything from sliding out when under the seat and elsewhere on the road.
Its bespoke natural leather ingredients offer a deliverance from the sinfulness of the mundane, and its sumptuous touch oozes the perfume of prestige.

The Cleoh Bucket Bag is just the right size for everyday use. For me, it always seems the bigger the bag, the harder it is to find things! We all know the pain of the phone ringing endlessly and not being able to source it in the cavernous abyss of a typical oversized bag, heaving with insignificant contents!
Crafted from a supple, superior grade of leather on the exterior, the bag boasts handy pockets on the interior, ideal for depositing your phone, make up, pens, etc.
The Bally signature embossed detailing on the front is an alluring reminder of the quality and sublime craftsmanship carefully endowed with each piece.
5.
A lot of thought has gone into this versatile mini bag with a sustainable message. It’s hard to believe a bag so modern-looking is actually made of recycled materials!
The Elenia Minibag is made out of water-resistant nylon with a detachable zipped pouch, strap and zip-around purse. That little zipped pouch is a stand-out feature and super handy when needing to quickly stash away ear buds or loose change when out and about.
6.
I am absolutely in love with the Deasia Red Leather Pumps! The rich, gorgeous crimson pairs perfectly with autumn palettes, and I would love to have a lipstick in this intense stain as well; the rouge beautifully aches of sensuality. The just over 4″ block heel and the platform combined adds extra comfort in your step and will have you feeling like you’re prancing on pillows all day at work!

Wear these pumps with an all black, navy or brown ensemble, to amplify the shoes. The gold 1851 Bally hardware garnished at the front of the pumps completes the heritage look and offers an extra slice of opulence. Expand your investment portfolio with these well-heeled, de rigueur starlets!
7.
Feminine with just the right amount of modern polish defines these chic, Italian-made Jessye pumps. Constructed with a leather sole and finished with the iconic Janelle buckle, the Jessye Pump features the B-monogram, a 3-inch enticing stiletto heel, and a cross-over strap.
Make these soles sing paired with a long-sleeved midi dress or an ivory buttoned-up chemise with ruched shoulders and a structured midi skirt in cognac or navy.
8.
Sleek and chic narrate the Lavynia adjustable shoulder bag. Made from a water-efficient tanning process, its internal compartments keep your devices organized and well-behaved.
Dress this bag with a tailored trench coat, wide tweed legs, and a high-neck, broody floral blouse under a wool blend cardigan, finished with Jessye pumps.
9.
If there is a shoe made for running errands while looking fresh at the same time, this is it! The ultra-lightweight Malya rubber sole shoe features a B-monogram motif and a detachable press patch at the rear with interchangeable tonal brown and metal B-Chain patches.
Sport these with a pair of your most comfortable denims and a roomy alpaca sweater. As the cold weather creeps, wrap up the look in a plush lambskin coat (above) and compliment your favorite shoulder with the Beckie Crossbody Bag.
10.
These classic Janelle leather loafers are multifunctional as a loafer and a slipper. Two looks in one! Worn outside as a loafer, these flattering flats surrender beautifully to the diminishing seasonal centigrades.
Wear them leisurely with a pair of cropped fitted jeans and a blouson for an effortless look, or for the office, add them to wool-blend ankle trousers and a buttoned-up silk blouse layered under a tailored tweed jacket and dainty, freshwater pearl hoops.
Worn outside as a loafer, these flattering flats surrender beautifully to the diminishing seasonal centigrades.
As a slipper, loaf around the house with these lovelies draped in oversized chunky knit loungewear, sipping a long, tall glass of fabulousness and regenerate your temple of well-being all day long.
