Berluti was founded in 1895 in Paris, France by shoemaker Alessandro Berluti. As a classic French footwear brand with a history of 100 years, Berluti is known for its bespoke "shoes with a soul", and its haute couture shoes have been loved by celebrities such as the Duke of Windsor, Jean Cocteau, Andy Warhol, and now the brand is part of the top luxury group LVMH.
 
Berluti was one of the first manufacturers of custom-made shoes in Paris, best known for handmade shoes, in 2005 the brand added leather goods to its product line, and released a range of exclusive bags, wallets, belts and accessories, and in 2012 launched a ready-to-wear collection, which extends from the original men's shoes to different areas such as leather goods, ready-to-wear and accessories.
 
Berluti men's belts are made of crocodile and calfskin and have a more casual look. Its most striking feature is its rich and varied colours, thanks to its Patina dyeing process and its patented Venezia leather. Berluti uses a variety of dyes to repeatedly fade the leather, then dip and polish it to give the surface of the leather goods more variable light and dark tones and color depths, which has also become a unique and distinctive feature of his shoes, and has also changed the men's shoe market, which was limited to traditional colors such as black and maroon before the 80s of the last century. In order to achieve a good Patina color effect, Berluti has also developed Venezia leather, which is a full-grain, uncoated leather made of high-quality cowhide leather with a soft touch and even better color when dyed with Patina's ancient method.
 
Another special feature of Berluti belts is the customization of tattoos and hot stamping. Leather tattooing is delicate and requires experienced artisans to make it by hand using needles and paints. Tattoo styles can be selected from the brand's catalogue of tattoo designs, most of which feature motifs, calligraphy, animal catalogues, constellations, and Chinese zodiac signs created by renowned tattoo artist Scott Campbell. In addition to catalogue tattoo styles, customers can also offer their own designs for personalization. Hot stamping, on the other hand, is the embossing of the initials on Berluti leather accessories and is a free service that can be made directly in some Berluti stores.
 
In addition to tattoos and hot stamping, Berluti often carved cursive poems on belts and belt buckles, mostly from kings and famous manuscripts, which were very literary and suitable for casual occasions. In terms of pricing, calfskin material is concentrated at 4000-6000 yuan, and crocodile leather material is around 30000 yuan.
