Rediscovering Tradition: A Journey Through Generations
Founded in 1927, Escovaria de Belomonte stands as a testament to unwavering craftsmanship and dedication. Across generations, Escovaria de Belomonte has resurrected a piece of its history by revitalizing a vintage brush-filling machine that lay dormant for years.

Embracing Nature: The Beauty of Natural Bristles
The Belomonte Collection embraces the ancestral wisdom of using natural materials. The ForClothes brush features pig bristles, offering exceptional advantages for garment care.
