About

Henry Beguelin's Vail shop at 166 East Gore Creek Drive is one of only three North American stores for the Italian leather house, alongside Aspen and Malibu. The brand began on the island of Elba in the early 1980s as an artisanal experiment among friends making belts from natural and recycled leather, and every piece still carries its signature: a small stick figure hand-stitched in waxed thread.

It suits shoppers who want leather that looks handmade because it is: bags, belts, shoes and small goods with visible saddle stitching, beading and the slight irregularities the company treats as the point rather than a flaw.

What it makes

The range runs from belts, the house's starting point, to bags of every size (totes, crossbody, shoulder and top-handle styles), shoes, boots, loafers and sneakers, wallets, small leather goods and leather jewelry. Some pieces are decorated with Venetian murrine glass beads applied by hand.

The home collection

Henry Beguelin also makes objects for the house: round and rectangular leather boxes, trays and holders, and a line of seating and tables. The Vail shop's selection varies, so ask what is in store if you are looking for something specific.

How it is made

The company tans and dyes its leather without aggressive chemicals to keep it soft and natural, and its artisans work with awls, engraving machines and hand-sewn waxed thread. Expect prices that reflect the handwork.

Before you go

Opening hours are not listed on the brand's website, so call the shop before making a special trip. The full range is also sold online through the brand's own store.
