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. [cite web|title=Belisi Fashions|url=http://www.belisi.com|accessdate=2007-11-28] After graduating in economics, Peter started his career at Merrill Lynch. [cite web|title=Peter Belisi and Merrill Lynch|url=http://syndicatednews.us/clippings/big/12GTN052407.pdf|accessdate=2007-12-5] Later, following a stint in Internet advertising, he worked as a bartender in Palm Beach.

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.

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.
