Balestra was founded in Rome in 1959 by Renato Balestra. In 2022, the historic maison underwent a natural metamorphosis and inaugurated a new phase, under the leadership of the founder’s daughters, Fabiana and Federica Balestra, and his granddaughter Sofia Bertolli Balestra.
A creative team of young designers was selected to bring to life a new poetic vision and narrative, capable of carrying the brand into the future while respecting the heritage of the past. Freedom and creative strength — the true soul of Balestra’s fashion and style — now fall within a broader vision of inclusion and empowerment, consistent with the cosmopolitan nature of our increasingly global and interconnected life.
The maison enhances its expert blend of art, design, and Made in Italy technology to exalt the principles of excellence and innovation, alongside the human values that have always distinguished it. Balestra blends the past with the future and continues to evolve and innovate, keeping craftsmanship always at the heart of our tomorrow.
1924
A tribute to dreams that never fade, those that fuel our imagination and illuminate the path toward a bright future full of possibilities. Balestra 1924 is a celebration of the past and an optimistic vision of the future. The new logo, a refined reinterpretation of the original design created in 1971 by Renato Balestra himself, marks a significant evolution in the brand's visual language, serving as a bridge between tradition and innovation.
With every note, Balestra 1924 invites you to discover a symphony of sensations that express the best of yourself and your dreams. To live, dream, and embrace a future full of promises and beauty.
The freshness of the top notes — Bergamot, Thyme, and Grapefruit — ignites the senses with vitality, while the heart enriches with Ginger, Cinnamon, Rose, and Leather, delivering a depth full of passion and authenticity. The warm and enveloping base, composed of Vanilla, Amber, Musk, and touches of Woods, closes the journey with a touch of timeless elegance.
Balestra 1924 is the fragrance for those who embrace the past, live the present, and dream of a future rich with promise.
