Ann Balon
Ann Balon made her name as a jewellery designer before setting up her fashion label. Once on a trip to the beautiful Amalfi coast, Ann fell in love with the exquisite Italian lace, appliqué work, vivid colours and dressmaking techniques typical of the region. These became the source of her inspiration and the basis of her collections ever since. Ann and her team create designs with a classic timeless look, informed, but not dominated, by the latest trends and fashions.
Every Ann Balon outfit is a labour of love, crafted in our "labaratorio" in the hills above magnificent Positano. Each piece is cut by hand, assembled by expert seamstresses with the appliqué work applied by hand. The completed ensemble is batch dyed and stone washed using traditional regional dyeing methods and pumice from Vesuvius. After dyeing, each piece is finished by hand and quality controlled. The whole fabrication process combines artisanal techniques, modern science and creative design.
