About Ann Balon
For more than 30 years, Ann Balon has crafted occasionwear with an artisanal Italian touch. The story begins above Positano, where skilled seamstresses use traditional techniques: hand-cut lace, batch dyeing, and unique texturing (including gentle stone-washing with pumice) to create lace that feels luxurious yet wearable. The result is a collection with a distinctly romantic, unstructured elegance—soft on the body and beautiful in motion.
What Makes Ann Balon Different
