All Benheart products are handmade in Italy, using Italian raw and processed materials in accordance to Benheart Italia's own designs, with full authority of the manufacturing processes at all production stages.

CSC Champion and Daytime Emmy nominated star Katherine Kelly Lang explains why she decided to bring Benheart to the US: "We love Ben, who is the creator and founder and our partner, and we're just so excited to be a part of it…When we went in his store [in Florence], Dom and I just fell in love with the whole feeling. It had the artisan feel of Italy… "

Ben was born in Fes, Morocco, home to the oldest leather tannery in the world and was just a child when he arrived in Scandicci, Italy which is famous for its artisanal leather production. This is where he began to dream of creating his first leather jacket collection.


Tragedy struck ten years ago while Ben was playing football and was abruptly diagnosed with a life-threatening illness, finding himself in need of a new heart.


When all hope seemed lost, a miracle was granted via an organ donor and Ben received a second chance at life, which sparked a rebirth. He arose from his surgery with a purpose: to fulfill his dream to create artisanal luxury leather goods in birth place of the Renaissance, Florence - a city known for craftsmanship from time immemorial: Leonardo…Michelangelo…Vasari… Gucci.
