Belisi Fashions is an American fashion house offering a wide range of fashion accessories like neckties, pocket squares, scarves, and handbags. Headquartered in Jupiter, Florida, Belisi was founded by an Italian Peter Belisi.[1] After graduating in economics, Peter started his career at Merrill Lynch.[2] Later, following a stint in Internet advertising, he worked as a bartender in Palm Beach.[3] When his tie choices were appreciated by friends, he decided to make money from his talents by marketing a collection of quality ties. Thus, Belisi was born, the company diversifying later into other fashion accessories; Peter’s close interaction with the influential and rich Palm Beach clientele and his roots in Italy resulted in Belisi products incorporating both European and Palm Beach styles.[4]
The company claims that 10 percent of the pre-tax profits are diverted towards charitable causes, such as breast cancer patients’ aid, eradication of AIDS in Africa, heart disease awareness, and the Make-A-Wish Foundation.[5]
Belisi and its products have been covered by the Chicago Tribune, TheStreet.com, and the Daily Camera, among others.[6]
Peter Belisi has been called 'The New Ralph Lauren' by Jupiter Magazine.
