STYLE Edit: Berluti goes ‘Off the Road’ with elegant biker capsule collection
Luxury brand’s stylish designs include calf-leather biker boots, collaborative crash helmet, shearling-lined blouson, travel bag, gloves and two wallets
You wouldn’t normally think that the words “biker” and “elegance” belong in the same sentence, but that’s where you’re wrong.
Bikers and cyclists deserve nice things too; that’s what Berluti, the shoe and leather goods maker, thinks, anyway.
The French luxury brand has been known for its leather craftsmanship since 1895, and its latest autumn-winter capsule collection, “Off the Road”, has been designed to appeal to motorcyclists who want to inject some style into their usual outdoor – often rough-and-ready – experiences.
The “Off the Road” collection has been inspired by the wild, serene landscapes of Iceland, and features a series of classic and refined leather pieces created with sophisticated yet appropriately outdoor touches.
Today the name “capsule collection” often refers to special collaborations or designs created to address a trend, particular niche, specialised need, or social phenomenon.
However, the term was traditionally used to describe a collection of clothing items that transcends time and will never go out of fashion.
This capsule collection by Berluti stays true to both definitions.
