About Berluti

Berluti makes bespoke mens shoes and is known for a patination technique that colours leather by hand in layers. LVMH acquired it in 1993, and it is the groups principal menswear leather house alongside Louis Vuitton. Its Venezia leather is made to a formula the house keeps secret, and clients have historically been invited to have their shoes polished with champagne, a ritual it still performs.
