During the brand’s latest event, Berluti’s bespoke illusion Patina technique was showcased to VVIP customers and fans of the brands. Berluti’s Master Colorist could create the appearance of texture through stenciling and leather coloring.
The process is meticulous and fascinating to behold; a stencil for the pattern is cut out and applied on to the product, after which pigments, dyes, and essential oils are gently applied over the stencil (using an array of painterly tools such as brushes and sponges) to penetrate the leather.
Finally, the stencil is removed to reveal a distinctive alligator pattern. The kind of exclusive customization that elevates one’s BERLUTI collection – adding initials also included.
Adding more flair to the event was Indonesia’s renowned illusionist, Galih Montana, who joined the attendees and entertained everyone with a few of his favorite tricks.
