Meet the everyday heroes making lives better

Even (or perhaps especially) in the most difficult times, there are those who go above and beyond for the people they love, for strangers or for society as a whole. To help celebrate and support these amazing folks, we asked our community to nominate their everyday heroes, and whoa, were we inundated with incredible nominations! We chose one nominee every day for a month, and treated them to some Bellroy gear, as our way of saying thanks.

These are just a few of the incredible stories of kindness, sacrifice and goodwill that we received. Each and every one has inspired us, warmed our hearts and reminded us that, when it comes to everyday heroes, they wear all kinds of capes!
