Bally was founded through the passion and vision of pionerr Carl Franz Bally. His original family business was the manufacture of elastic ribbon but a journey to Paris and a gift of love forveer changes Bally’s destiny. During a business trip to Paris in 1849, Carl Franz wanted to buy his wife some lace-up booties – the popular shoe of the day. Unable to recall her exact size, he decided to buy twelve pairs in a range of sizes, knowing that one would certainly fit. Upon visiting the Parisian factory where the booties were made, he noticed that each shoe featured buttons with elastic closures similar to the kind his family produced in Switzerland. Inspired by the possibility of creating more jobs, he decided to expand his business into shoe production.
Innovation. Functionality. Modernity. Since 1851, these three principles symbolise the enduring pioneer spirit of founder Carl Franz Bally – an ethos that continues to imbue this authentic Swiss brand with its visionary commitment to cutting-edge techniques and world-class craftsmanship.
