Robbie French

In 2002, Robbie’s hobby was designing jewelry and belts for herself and friends and, upon seeing a television show on style where belts, similar to the ones she was making, were selling for over $300, Robbie was compelled to take her belt design a few steps further. She started to sell them in the boutiques of the hotels where she worked, styled many celebrities and built a following, soon inspiring her to take a chance of leaving the hotel/bar business to start her own design company.

From her beginnings working out of a studio apartment in Venice making all of her own belts, Robbie now commissions an Italian family business to do all of her metal work and equally skilled craftsmen to do her leather tooling. Robbie French Designs are now found in 600 retail stores and boutiques world wide and outfit many A-list celebrities like Nicholas Cage, Madonna, Tommy Lee, Dave Navarro and more.
