Established in Paris in 1895 by an Italian bootmaker and built upon by four generations of shoemakers, Berluti has sealed its reputation as a fashion house specialized in blending tradition and modernity. The consistent result has been footwear of incomparable comfort and elegance, a value expressed by the house's motto: “you cannot be elegant if you are not comfortable and well-shod.” The brand's unique expertise, initially developed for bespoke footwear, was brought into service for its ready-to-wear collections in 2011. Staying true to the company’s heritage, the line is a mix of the house’s classic craftsmanship with a contemporary twist.
