Giving back to society

Peter Belisi is one of the great brands that have come out of Palm Beach. He has single handedly created an empire of sorts from nothing apart from his drive to succeed and his sense of style. Starting out as a bartender, Belisi wanted to live the life of the customers he served and started to design ties in an effort to support his family. He wore his ties at work, which got him noticed by several prominent people, who placed orders and slowly the word spread about him and his designs. Besides ties, Belisi.com also has a range of accessories such as scarves and handbags. A guiding principle in his work has been Luxury with Meaning, giving back to society and to those less fortunate. It's a great success story that will hopefully inspire lots of people to follow Peter Belisi.
