Alessandro Berluti was born in 1865 in Senigallia, a small village in the Makai region of Italy. He has been involved in carpentry since childhood and left his hometown at the age of 19 to start his creative journey. In the late 19th century, he arrived in Paris, when the city was experiencing a new wave of creativity and art. For the next decade, Alessandro Berluti worked as a shoemaker, customizing shoes for international fashion celebrities such as Isadora Duncan and Elisabeth Arden at the time. His unusually keen eye for line aesthetics, coupled with his passion for hardwood carving, these skills that are crucial to custom footwear craftsmanship earned him the reputation of a talented shoemaker. In 1895, he created a new shoe with his superb skills - Alessandro lace-up Oxford shoes, which was born.

More than 120 years ago, Alessandro Berluti engraved his name on his shoes, and the Berluti brand was thus laid. Since the beginning of the brand, Berluti has been famous all over the world for its exquisite craftsmanship and unique style, which is rooted in its transparent understanding of custom creations. Berluti products have always kept pace with the trend of the times, but the craftsmanship spirit has always been consistent, seeking newness and change in every new chapter, breaking through the limits of craftsmanship and style.

Customized foot is Berluti’s store treasure. Alessandro Berluti was a great furniture craftsman with an extraordinary talent in carving wood and balancing the size of shoes. His artistic talent inspired Berluti's generations of craftsmen. Customizing a pair of shoes takes about 250 processes, 50 hours of synthesis, and three meetings with the shoemaker. The production of a pair of customized shoes requires the participation of professional masters such as last makers, pattern masters, cutting masters, and sewing masters. It is the skills of these professional masters that make every pair of Berluti shoes unique.

When Berluti developed Patina tones in the 1980s, most men's shoes on the market were black or brown. Berluti completely changed the world of men's shoes by blending subtle color changes. Venezia leather complements these colors, giving a sophisticated transparent texture and depth. Each pair of shoes is life and personality, and is handmade by color masters, so each Patina dye is unique.

Customized is the DNA in Berluti's blood. It has excellent skills in custom shoe and garment manufacturing, and providing the same high-quality customized clothing is also the foundation of Berluti. Maison Arnys, who has 40 years of customization experience, is naturally the partner choice for this service. All of Berluti’s tailored suits are created by Maison Arnys-trained tailoring masters, making Berluti a luxury brand that offers head-to-toe customization services.
