Berluti-Very appealing to me :)
I think if you are only going to wear it once or twice a year, it is not really a good shoe or match for you no matter the price. To me, it is only worth it if you use it often and you get lots of satisfaction from using the product.- allegro

Berluti-Very appealing to me :)
Agree :) I think this bag needs to be tried out in person. I had no desire to buy it when I first saw it online but upon trying this out in the store, found it to be functional and unique also :) It will definitely be one of the most used bags in my collection.- allegro

Berluti-Very appealing to me :)
To me, I still prefer the colouring style from Berluti as it seems more tastefully done. Graziat's colouring based on the pictures you posted is a bit too abrupt for my liking :( I also find their style a bit strange as the front part seems a little too short. The Berluti shoe you posted isn't...- allegro

Berluti-Very appealing to me :)
I often think this is where we start to get involved in things like copyright law, and patent law. I remembered an Australian furniture maker was sued in court for replica furnitures but reached a settlement (Replica Furniture – Herman Miller vs Matt Blatt (broadsheet.com.au)). There is...- allegro

Berluti-Very appealing to me :)
If we are talking about an almost exact replica, then this is clearly a theft in my opinion. There are many fake Louis Vuitton bags that are at a fraction of the original price for example. Even for simple things like a bookcase, to make it really work, the designer needs to spend a lot of...- allegro

From my side to have meaningful comparison on quality, it is important to define quality as well. Certainly there are always going to be trade offs, if customers want the famous patina Berluti is known for, then Venezia leather, despite being thinner and lighter, would be their leather of...- allegro

The bag can arguably not justify the $5900 AUD or $4000 USD price tag also :) Again it all comes down to personal taste and what the customer is willing to pay for these.- allegro

Berluti-Very appealing to me :)
I actually did not like any of the examples you gave LOL.... there is nothing special about these? At the end of the day, it comes to personal taste here, and there isn't going to be a right or wrong answer here. Art is also an evolving concept. When Beethoven came to the music scene, his music...- allegro

Like all things, we pay a premium for the extra customer service (like free change in colour, polishing services, staff responding to your questions very promptly), branches, and heritage as well. Of course, I can also get the bag I purchased independently made by someone in Europe with...- allegro

Berluti-Very appealing to me :)
I am not a shoe person at all, as stated above :) However, having owned the Berluti shoes for more than a year, it still looks good and almost new whereas my $400 leather shoes did not fare so well. There seems to be a misconception that Blake construction means bad quality, but this is not...- allegro

Berluti-Very appealing to me :)
Oh yes, I like these too :D Andy Demesure Leather Loafer | Berluti AU I only have two pairs of more expensive shoes (Berluti, Attila Kovacs) and the total number of shoes I own are just four pairs so I am not really a shoe person, but do appreciate good quality products.- allegro

Yes, this can be used as a backpack because there are removable straps behind it. (Premier Jour Scritto Leather Backpack | Berluti AU) I think the ones with different colours are only available in boutique stores, but Berluti does offer one free colour change. I actually wanted a rectangle...- allegro

Ha, I think not many people seem to love Berluti, compared to the popularity of Louis Vuitton, Gucci and others. I like how Berluti is quite unique/distinctive in terms of its offerings, and the colours are amazingly beautiful.- allegro

Berluti-Very appealing to me :)
I have seen a few threads where people just hate the design, but I really find some of their products quite appealing. The product shown here can be used as a backpack and as a tote bag and there are nice design features like a separate compartment for a laptop and generous space to hold various...- allegro
