Berluti’s Fall/Winter 2026 collection considers what modern elegance feels like from within, balancing Parisian refinement with movement, comfort and a distinctly personal sense of ease
For more than a century, Berluti has continued to redefine elegance as the world around it shifts. Today, the maison looks to a state of ease, both in the world and in one’s own body, as a guiding principle for its fall/winter 2026 collection.
Rooted in Parisian sophistication, the collection considers how the modern gentleman dresses today, with each piece expressing quiet confidence for multifaceted personalities who move through life with the same fluidity as the clothes they wear. The collection unfolds across three pillars: footwear, menswear and leather goods, each offering distinctive pieces that remain unmistakably Berluti.
Footwear: Heritage in Motion
Founded in the late 19th century as a footwear and leather goods maison, Berluti first made its name through Alessandro Berluti’s mastery of woodworking and shoemaking, culminating in the iconic Alessandro lace-up shoe. Since then, the brand has never regarded shoes as static objects. They are designed to support the wearer’s lifestyle, whatever the occasion.
This season, Berluti takes a fresh approach to shoemaking. Modernity with a dynamic edge defines the collection, balancing the clean lines of its menswear counterparts. Among the latest offerings, boots best showcase the maison’s extraordinary savoir-faire.
Leading the lineup is the Rombo boot, a nod to classic biker aesthetics, followed by the lightweight Chelsea boot, which echoes Berluti’s signature sleek understatement. Alongside them, the Capri boot and Derby shoe champion functionality, while the Alessio line introduces a new buckle shoe with a distinctly contemporary spirit.
Menswear: The New Ease
Rather than focusing solely on outward appearance, Berluti Fall/Winter 2026 collection approaches elegance from within this season, offering pieces designed to deliver physical ease. The Forestière jacket, for instance, takes a distinctive turn in Anthracite stretch cashmere, lined with polka-crest patterned silk. An unexpected Vintage Pink cashmere option is paired with burgundy for a winter-ready statement.
Embodying Berluti’s savoir-faire in leather craftsmanship, the Un Jour jacket has been reimagined in the new Fiamma patina, an innovative technique that brings rich, nuanced hues to life. Another signature of Berluti’s menswear universe, the Fly line features a reversible jacket crafted from exceptionally supple Fly lambskin. True to its purpose, the piece balances sophistication with comfort through its lightweight construction.
Leather Goods: Beyond the Briefcase
Berluti’s masculine elegance has long been closely associated with its leather bags. This season, that vocabulary expands through a broader color palette and the introduction of new materials, bringing the maison’s approach to leather into sharper focus.
The 1 Jour de Plus redefines the modern briefcase. Taking its design cues from its predecessor, the 1 Jour, the bag is reimagined in supple, grained Seta leather. Beyond its sumptuous appearance, the 1 Jour de Plus functions as a true daily companion, offering multiple carrying options.
Joining the 1 Jour de Plus is the F088, an answer to the gentleman’s evolving lifestyle and designed for the business professional who is constantly on the move. A fresh interpretation of the 2 Jours bag, the F088 features sharper lines and slimmer hardware for a stronger, more refined finish. Completing the offering is the Fly line, which echoes the menswear approach with weightless bags crafted from Piuma calfskin.
From footwear to menswear and leather goods, fall/winter 2026 comes full circle. It is Berluti’s response to the way we dress today: rooted in heritage, shaped by feeling and ultimately concerned with a more effortless expression of elegance.
