The Modern Code of Elegance, According to Berluti

Elegance today is measured differently

Elegance today is no longer tied to rigidity or display. It is defined by ease, by the ability to move through the day without adjustment. A man who feels at home in his clothes moves differently in the world. Berluti builds its latest collection around that idea.
Founded in Paris in 1895 and shaped by four generations of shoemakers, the Maison has always treated craft as structure rather than ornament. This season, that structure expands. Footwear, tailoring, leather goods. Each category reflects the same principle. Precision aligned with movement.
Shoes Designed to Walk
For Berluti, footwear begins with motion.
The Rombo boot anchors the season. Crafted in Venezia calfskin, its mid calf height and subtle biker references give business tailoring a firmer base. Goodyear welt construction ensures durability, while a discreet rubber insert under the sole improves stability on city pavement. The proportions feel considered. Balanced enough for a suit, grounded enough for denim.

The reinterpreted Alessio introduces an ankle boot variation with elasticated side panels and a lightweight EVA outsole. EVA, flexible and resilient, reduces weight without altering line. The result carries the visual clarity of a Chelsea boot with the practicality required for constant movement.
The Capri boot maintains its clean, functional silhouette, moving easily from day engagements to evening commitments. Alongside it, a Derby in Venezia leather extends the offering for off duty weekends, while a seasonal water repellent suede version introduces texture suited to colder months. Open lacing ensures comfort without compromising profile.
Across the range, the language remains consistent. Craft that supports pace.
Tailoring with Ease Built In
Berluti’s winter collection approaches tailoring from the inside out. Structure exists, yet it does not constrict.
The Forestière jacket appears in Anthracite stretch cashmere, lined with silk bearing the Polka crest motif. Paired with Alessandro trousers and the Scritto embroidered belt, it reads composed and contemporary. A Vintage Pink cashmere version, worn with burgundy and brown trousers, shifts the tone toward winter warmth without excess.
For the first time, the Forestière jacket can be paired with matching trousers. The coordinated silhouette offers clarity for those who prefer a complete line.
Leather plays a defining role this season. The Un Jour jacket introduces the new Fiamma patina, a technique that melts three colours into layered depth. The finish carries flame like undertones without appearing overt. A shearling variation cocoons with soft interior sheepskin while maintaining a streamlined exterior profile.

The Fly line extends further. A reversible jacket in supple lambskin adapts easily between formal and relaxed settings. New colourways in the B ways series strengthen its urban identity.
Throughout, contrast remains central. Monochrome foundations are interrupted by texture. Cashmere meets silk. Leather meets wool. The dialogue gives the wardrobe dimension.
Leather Goods for a Continuous Day
Modern life resists compartments. Berluti responds with bags designed to transition without interruption.
The 1 Jour de Plus revisits the briefcase through a more architectural lens. Rectangular in form with lateral construction that provides structure without stiffness, it is crafted from grained Seta leather. Hand carry handles are discreetly sewn into side pockets, allowing the bag to shift onto the shoulder when required. Two additional compartments flank the central zipped structure, adjustable via side buckles. The functionality feels integrated rather than added.
The F088, one of the Maison’s established designs, returns with slimmer hardware and sharper lines inspired by the 2 Jours. New leathers introduce variation. Suede offers a softer drape. Double sided suede invites touch, responding visibly to each gesture.
The Fly line translates the weightlessness of the Fly jacket into leather goods. Piuma calfskin carries a subtle sheen and soft hand, lined with ripstop nylon originally developed for parachutes. The bags hug the body, freeing the hands. An oversized Scritto motif, moulded in engineered rubber through the leather, reinforces durability without visual weight.
The Fly 48h adapts to daily use or short escapes. The Fly 72h expands capacity while maintaining proportion suitable for cabin travel.
The Through Line
Across footwear, tailoring, and leather goods, Berluti maintains continuity.
Each piece supports motion. Each construction decision reflects long practice. The vocabulary is recognisable. Venezia leather. Scritto motifs. Patinas layered by hand. Techniques refined over more than a century.
The collection proposes a version of masculine elegance shaped by fluidity rather than rigidity. A wardrobe that adjusts to the body, not the other way around.
In a season defined by movement, Berluti offers structure that travels with you.
