Bellroy was founded in 2009 by designers Andrew Fallshaw and Hadrien Monloup,[8] and engineers Lina Calabria and Matthew Fallshaw.[9] Its first products to market were slim wallets.[10] The name Bellroy is derived from the towns of Bells Beach and Fitzroy, where the company has offices.[11] The brand launched its first wallets in August 2010.[12][13]

In April 2019, Bellroy announced a partnership with Silas Capital, a New York-based growth equity firm that invests in consumer brands;[14][15] and later that year was valued at $83 million.[16] In 2021 Bellroy was voted Australia's best small business workplace.[17] As of 2023, Bellroy has over 100 employees.[18]
