Andy by Berluti

At Berluti, certain names transcend the ages and continue to inspire. Andy is the perfect embodiment. While this name immediately evokes the famous loafer custom-designed for Andy Warhol, he now signs a brand new creation: the Andy bag. A piece that pays homage to its predecessor while establishing itself as a contemporary wardrobe essential.  With this new silhouette, Berluti revisits the retro spirit of the 70s satchel by infusing it with a modern and sophisticated look. Its structured format, with precise geometric lines, recalls the visual impact of the original loafer. But to meet the demands of a dynamic everyday life, the House has enriched its design with a double handle, adding a wide, adjustable shoulder strap to the classic handle, ideal for men on the go. Its discreet clasp, a hidden clip, ensures a smooth and secure closure without altering the elegance of the line. Named Andy, this bag had to be a refined echo of the moccasin of the same name. The most obvious reference? This characteristic topstitching, the signature of the shoe, which structures the front of the bag by subtly converging towards its center, thus recalling the tapered shape of the toe of the loafer.

Another nod is the loafer’s barrette, the openwork leather band that gives the shoe’s tongue its distinctive hold. On the bag, this reference is embodied by hand-sewn vertical seams, illustrating Berluti’s unique craftsmanship and the House’s finesse in its exceptional leathers. Behind its sleek look and subtly nuanced patina, the Andy bag also stands out for its robustness and ingenuity. Designed as a constant companion, it combines solid construction, meticulous finishing, and a timeless design. It is designed to accompany busy days, whether cycling through urban streets or attending business meetings, while adding that touch of elegance that defines Berluti creations. With the Andy bag, Berluti creates more than just an accessory: a new essential for the men’s wardrobe. Timeless and unique, it embodies the perfect balance between heritage and modernity
