Berluti presents its Winter 2023 collection

In the modern age, real luxury is increasingly characterized by time, ease, and essentiality. For Winter 2023, Berluti presents its Winter 2023 collection with the last story of The Great Escape: Peak Point.

The Great Escape is founded in a refined approach to the reality of contemporary dressing, released in four chapters over the course of the season. Tailored to the Berluti man, it is a reflection of an instinctive and unconstrained approach to living: an effortless elegance shaped by a dynamic life on the move and the reinvented dress codes for which it calls, rooted in fine craftsmanship imbued with the soul of the Maison’s history. Anchored in the activity that defines our everyday lives – from travel to sports – the proposal epitomizes the comfort and functionality core to the territory. Through the elevated lens of Berluti, these values manifest in an authentic wardrobe brought to life through the artisanal knowhow embodied by the Maison.

The final release under The Great Escape, Peak Point amplifies the archetypes of the weatherproof winter wardrobe through advanced craftsmanship and construction.

Painted in a warm palette inherent to the house, knitwear and casually tailored trousers in fine wools are overlaid with super-refined padded outerwear including a lightweight down blouson crafted in supple patinated leather. A new interpretation of Berluti’s emblematic Brunico lace-up boot – also adapted into a shoe version – in patina leather embossed with the Scritto motif morphs the codes of hiking and formality, while a new take on the Ultima boot lined in shearling introduces an alpine spirit to the Maison’s boot-making. Finally, the wintry spirit manifests in bags created in Loden wools.

Brunico Leather Boot

Brunico was originally a bespoke ski boot created at the request of Greta Garbo in 1938, and has been a Berluti icon since 2011. Its generous silhouette and functional features have evolved through time and now nod back to their origins.

A classic Blake construction with a leather and rubber outsole meets a Venezia leather upper with curved stitching details, understated embossed Scritto and a padded nappa tongue. Its metal hooks, rivets and flat waxed laces reference traditional mountain boots, making Brunico ideal for both the outdoors and city life.

Designed in 2001 by Olga Berluti to cater to her most travel-hungry clients, Ultima is instantly recognisable for its bold, assertive, adventure-ready outlines and square toe cap. This season, its trademark Venezia leather upper is mixed with soft shearling-lined nappa leather delicately wrapping around the ankle in a subtle nod to 1930’s bomber jackets. A more rounded toe cap, metal eyelets and ridged outsoles complete the trekking-inspired details.

The alpine spirit of the collection is echoed in a shearling-lined Toujours XL tote bag in deerskin inspired by traditional bomber jackets.
