What does it mean to be elegant these days? It means feeling as easy in the world as you do in your own body; exuding quiet, unforced confidence and style. Berluti channels this spirit in a collection that puts a fresh spin on masculine elegance. It’s designed for men who are multi-faceted, always on the move, and can’t be pinned down; men who navigate their life with the same effortless fluidity as they wear their clothes. 


Shoes – “these boots are made for walking”


For Berluti, shoes are never static objects. They’re designed for walking, and moving around the city, while adapting smoothly to the wearer’s stride. Each pair speaks to a tradition of elegance brought to life by craftsmanship that transcends mere function.


Within this universe, boots stand out as the heroes of the footwear collection. They inject a subtle modernity into elegant businesswear, confidently balancing the lines of any suit with a dynamic, contemporary edge. The cornerstone of the collection is the Rombo boot in Venezia calfskin, a model that epitomizes the Maison’s savoir-faire. Taking its cues from classic biker aesthetics, this striking design is perfectly proportioned with an elegant mid-calf height. Its Goodyear welt construction is complemented by a protective, non-slip rubber pad on the sole to improve stability and comfort.


Alongside the Rombo, a reinterpreted Alessio features an ankle boot as the star of its new lineup. This fresh spin on the Chelsea boot combines a practical elasticated panel with a rugged outsole made of a new material, EVA (ethylene vinyl acetate). Because it’s more flexible and lightweight, EVA foam offers greater comfort without compromising on fit or style. The sleek understatement and natural versatility of these pieces make them especially covetable.


The boot range offers an edit of essential styles that work equally well with a suit or more casual looks. As for the Maison’s hallmark Capri boot, its clean-lined, functional elegance means it transitions effortlessly from day to night.


Showcasing all Berluti’s savoir-faire, this selection of timeless designs is rounded out by some more seasonal models that explore new angles: a Derby in Venezia leather for off-duty city weekends, or a more adventurous version in a water-repellent suede, newly developed especially for the season. Its open lacing ensures a natural fit, designed for comfort and freedom of movement. The Alessio line has added a new buck shoe style – a contemporary take on the iconic classic – designed to suit today’s fast-paced, dynamic lifestyle.

 

Menswear – statement pieces for a bold identity

 

This winter the Maison writes a new chapter where elegance is felt from inside rather than imposed from outside – where precision tailoring comes with an instant sensation of physical ease.


Berluti makes a signature of strong contrasts. The purity of a monochrome ensemble is juxtaposed with bold, playful mixes of texture and colour. A Forestière jacket in Anthracite stretch cashmere, lined with Polka-crest patterned silk, teams effortlessly with formal Alessandro pants and the new Scritto embroidered belt for a classic yet resolutely contemporary look. In the same register, a Forestière jacket in Vintage Pink cashmere pairs beautifully with our burgundy and brown trousers for wintertime. And this season, for the first time, aficionados of the suit will be able to pair their


Forestière jacket with matching trousers for a totally coordinated look. Combinations like this dare you to be inventive.


As for our leather pieces, this season’s Un Jour jacket comes in several materials, from leather to shearling. The leather version has been reimagined with the new Fiamma patina (Fiamma means flame in Italian), a vibrant new take on colour. This innovative technique uses three colours, melted together, to give hybrid tones with rich hues in their depths. The collection also includes a shearling version that comes either as a jacket or a sleeveless vest. Soft sheepskin on the inside cocoons and insulates, while the patinated suede outer surface offers cozy comfort without bulking up the silhouette.


Another Berluti mainstay, the Fly line embodies a vision of luxury that’s tailored to suit the modern man’s life. More pieces have been added this season to meet changing needs, including a reversible jacket in supremely supple Fly lambskin. This beautifully fluid, chic leather gives the jacket a natural ease that’s works just as well with a casual outfit as something more sophisticated: two vibes, brought together in one featherlight piece. In addition, some new colourways have been brought in for the iconic B-ways, further bolstering the urban character of this ever-evolving family.

 

Leather bags – dialogue between function and materials


To be truly well-rounded, a man’s wardrobe naturally has to incorporate accessories tailored to every facet of his busy life. Berluti is expanding its palette, with an openness to new materials (Fly, Seta, suede) that illustrates the Maison’s considered approach to leather. Bags are now turning into all-day companions that never leave your side, as you navigate city life and move seamlessly from work to play. Building on its introduction of new leathers last year, Berluti continues to grow its range of leather goods.

 

1 Jour de Plus – the briefcase, reinvented


With 1 Jour de Plus, Berluti takes a bold creative step to rethink the briefcase without betraying its DNA. As the name implies, the intention is to offer a more casual alternative to the bag a professional man might traditionally carry. Neither a true briefcase nor a typical everyday city bag, this piece has a rectangular, rather architectural silhouette and a complex lateral construction that gives it structure without rigidity. Crafted from supple, hard-wearing Seta leather, this is a hybrid that bridges different worlds – a bag designed for men who no longer compartmentalise their daily lives.


A deliberate nod to the 1 Jour bag, this latest Berluti creation borrows its predecessor’s design vocabulary, with the same rectangular shape and central zipped structure, and of course the signature front zip pocket. But it also gives you something more, without upsetting the balance.

1 Jour de Plus is crafted from superbly tactile materials. The dense, robust grained Seta leather exterior is complemented by a soft leather lining that heightens the sophisticated feel of this piece.

As well as having hand carry handles, 1 Jour de Plus can be slung over the shoulder, since the handles are sewn within the pockets.



It’s now more functional, yet doesn’t compromise on style in any way. Two new compartments have been added on either side of the central structure, whose size can be easily altered by tightening or loosening the side buckles – like a jacket that you adjust for a perfect fit. This is the spirit of precision tailoring, applied to leather accessories.


F088 – a manifesto of style and savoir-faire


Berluti has revamped one of its bestsellers, the F088, to keep pace with its clients’ changing lifestyles. Originally designed for men on the move, it’s now been reinterpreted to serve as a versatile everyday carryall for busy professionals.


The F088’s restyle takes on the sharper lines and slimmer hardware of the 2 Jours, giving it a stronger silhouette. Another surprise this season is the Maison’s introduction of two especially supple leathers. Suede adds a more relaxed, slouchy feel that’s body-friendly yet very robust. The other new leather, a double-sided suede, is so soft you almost can’t stop touching it. Each gesture leaves a subtle imprint, as if the leather were a living thing.


The Fly line – weightless elegance


The new Fly line is another new chapter for Berluti – one that takes feather-lightness as its signature and motion as its aesthetic. These bags are super supple and unexpected light, designed to withstand the hectic pace of city life.


Inspired by the Fly jacket in soft, skin-hugging lambskin, the Fly line now reproduces this effect in leather bags. Piuma means feather in Italian, and our Piuma calfskin is as luxurious as Venezia leather, with a beautiful soft feel and a subtle sheen to it that catches the light.


To enhance the sense of weightlessness, Berluti chose ripstop nylon as a lining – a technical fabric originally developed to replace silk in parachutes. The bags are designed to be carried in multiple ways, hugging the body in a modern stance that leaves your hands free. In a bold signature touch, an oversized Scritto pattern in engineered rubber adorns the underside of the bag. It was moulded by retro-injection directly through the leather to add a protective, shock-absorbent layer.


A compact and versatile model that comes in two sizes, the Fly 48h is just as suited to everyday use as to last-minute getaways. The more generously sized Fly 72h is more of a travel bag – whether business or leisure – that can serve as cabin luggage without ever compromising your elegance.
