Berluti unveiled a collaboration collection celebrating the 80th anniversary of the French publication of The Little Prince. The event, held at the Berluti store on the 4th floor of Avenuel Jamsil, brought together Berluti CEO Jean-Marc Mansvelt and global ambassador Lee Junho. A world-renowned literary classic has been reborn on luxury leather goods.
Scenes from the book, like the drawing of an elephant inside a boa constrictor, have been redrawn on bags and wallets through Berluti's patina technique and delicate handwork. Patina is Berluti's signature method of hand-applying color to leather surfaces to create unique luster and tonal gradations. The collection includes seven bags, eight wallets and card holders, one pair of shoes, and four cashmere scarves. It launched worldwide on October 30.
Leather deepens the longer you use it, and stories never fade with time. Berluti seems to believe the two share something in common. Each time you open a bag, like turning a page, the world of The Little Prince unfolds at your fingertips. Everyday objects now carry scenes from literature.
This collaboration is not mere graphic work. It is the result of Berluti's artisans building up color by hand, layer by layer. Even within the same design, each piece carries a slightly different expression due to the nature of the patina process. Which scene comes to mind first for you?
