For luxury products enthusiasts, the ownership of something rare, unique, and one of a kind is pretty common. The possession of these rare items, and most times personalized, is already a luxury in itself. Hence, the ability to personalize your luxury items could really elevate one’s collection in terms of not only style but also value.

Mid-March, BERLUTI Plaza Indonesia hosted a very intimate Illusion Patina event for friends and fans of the brand. During the event, spectators could observe the meticulous Illusion Patina technique done by one of BERLUTI’s artisans on some of the leather goods. Substantially, Berluti’s artisans could create the appearance of texture through stenciling and leather coloring.

The process is indeed 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 (Venezia leather in particular). Finally, the stencil is removed to reveal a distinctive alligator pattern.

Customers could request this highly personalized service on their items of choice, from shoes to leather goods. If they already own several BERLUTI items from the past years, this is the kind of service that could give new life to their collection. In fact, it could look brand new. Kindly visit BERLUTI Plaza Indonesia to find out more about this service.
