Patination is a delicate art that demands subtlety and precision. In that way, Berluti’s art of patina exemplifies the house’s dedication to craftsmanship, attention to detail and the pursuit of excellence. This highly sought-after feature sets the brand’s shoes apart as symbols of luxury, artistry and individuality. Patina, of course, refers to the softthe effects of aging and use in a way that is aesthetically pleasing. Olga Berluti, the granddaughter of brand founder Alessandro Berluti, is the mastermind behind Berluti’s patina techniques. She perfected the coloring and bleaching process used by the brand back in the 1980s, resulting in a gleaming finish akin to Japanese lacquer.
