Gene Sarazen, a.k.a. The Squire, is the inspiration for the Handsome Squire brand. An Italian-American sporting icon.

Gene Sarazen | The Squire

Golfers. Travelers. Minimalists. In a golf world driven by the flashiest new mass-produced gadget, Co-Founders William and Dave are winding back the clock to a time when quality mattered most.

While pursuing their MBAs separately in Milan and New York, William and Dave wanted to answer the question: what do you give the golfer who has everything?

The answer: something no one else has. 

A partnership was born with the mission of providing handcrafted Italian leather golf accessories to the New York golf community.

And who better to inspire this new transatlantic brand than the game's greatest Italian-American sportsman, Eugenio Saraceni.  

You may know him by his anglicized name: Gene Sarazen.

The first man to win the career Grand Slam. The golfer who put the Masters on the map with the 'Shot Heard Round the World'. The New York-born son of Italian immigrants who became the icon for a generation of aspiring American sportsmen.  

And at 5 ft 5 in., the diminutive Sarazen strode the fairways with an unmatched combination of grace and power, earning him one of the great nicknames in golf: The Squire.  

With his legend in mind, Handsome Squire was born.  

William and Dave look forward to intentionally adding to the Squire collection over time, offering their customers the highest-quality leather in the golfing market, the only items stamped: Vera Pelle - Made in Italy.

Made in Milan. Bred in the Met. Welcome to Handsome Squire.
