This is a Berluti Alessandro Patina Leather Oxford shoe. The Alessandro, a signature shoe since Berluti's founding, is one of the most difficult shoes to make. The single-piece, whole-cut design showcases the manufacturer's skill, using the finest Venezia leather to achieve stunning beauty, finished with patina. It is a masterpiece, the origin and pinnacle of its kind. The single-piece leather construction with no seams and no embellishments, featuring three eyelets, highlights the quality of the leather, the perfection of the last, and the unique patina. The balance of these elements is extremely beautiful and supremely elegant. Its simple yet dignified appearance is overwhelming, making even everyday scenes like crossing your legs or going up and down stairs appear artistic, with an unparalleled presence. It fits any scene so well that you could say you need nothing else, and we recommend it as your first Berluti leather shoe. The color is the classic Cacao Intenso, perfect for business use. It's a Berluti-signature patina that's easy to wear regardless of the season or outfit. Personally, I recommend wearing the Alessandro in a refined, orthodox style without being overly flashy. The last is the valuable Club Collection. The Club Collection was one of the versatile lasts that became the mainstay when Berluti's bespoke shoes were developed as ready-to-wear shoes in 1990, during the heyday of Madame Olga. It's a last that's higher on the instep than the current main Demesure last, making it suitable for Japanese feet. I think it's a classic and graceful shape, French-like, that's not too formal and relaxed. Even now, many customers say that the Club Collection was the best last at Berluti. Retail price: 353,100 yen Size: 8.5 (approx. 27cm) #Click here for other size 8.5 shoes This is a genuine product, so free and paid maintenance, including polishing, is available at Berluti stores nationwide in Japan. A genuine shoe tree is included. The condition is good, with some signs of use after about 15 wears, but it's a beautiful item with no significant damage or stains. It has been regularly maintained, and the leather is in excellent condition. I am planning to move soon, and I am also listing various other items, including Berluti, so please take a look.
