Three Masculine Sunglass Styles and One Limited Edition Model
Berluti, founded in Paris in 1895, is a shoemaker that has been passed down through four generations. It was not long ago that they introduced exquisite leather goods in 2005 and a ready-to-wear collection in 2011. The Berluti ateliers on Rue Marbeuf and Rue de Sèvres in Paris are also known as the world's only maison offering fully bespoke, made-to-measure creations.
Now, Berluti is collaborating with the esteemed eyewear brand Oliver Peoples to launch its first eyewear collection. Both brands, while maintaining their shared dedication to tradition, solid craftsmanship, and technical expertise, have created sunglasses that embody meticulous attention to detail. The collection features three masculine styles and one limited edition model, totaling four distinct designs.
The designs feature specially developed acetate materials, matched with Berluti's signature Venezia leather, treated with patinas in complementary colors such as Saint-Émilion, Indigo Denim, Tabac Bis, Nero Grigio, and Nero Verde. The leather is framed with antique metal or matte metal, evoking details from the iconic "Un Jour" bag.
The "Rue Marbeuf," inspired by Andy Warhol, features a rounded shape with a sharp top line. The "Rue de Sèvres" is characterized by its large, tailored front, while the "Conduit Street" showcases a classic pilot style with a combination of exquisite materials. These three models are named after actual streets in Paris and London where Berluti boutiques are located.
Additionally, the limited edition "Sheldrake Leather" model, featuring leather on the front, will be released simultaneously. Attention should also be paid to the special packaging designed exclusively for this collaboration.
