Berluti has been making shoes for the elegant man since 1895. For more than a century, Berluti has enjoyed a reputation for excellence and quality in men’s footwear. The heritage shoe brand’s exclusivity in men’s shoe design has also attracted a number of exceptional women, from Greta Garbo to Patti Smith and, more recently Sophie Marceau, all of whom ordered made-to-measure Berluti shoes.

A recent change at the house of Berluti came this summer when Haider Ackerman, one of the most loved designers in Paris women’s fashion, was announced as their new creative director. Now following the news of the appointment is a press release that Berluti has indeed decided to expand their eponymous shoe line to women.

The heritage brand has unveiled a capsule collection dedicated for the first time to women. Available in Berluti’s Paris stores as of October 10th, the range features five ready-to-wear shoe styles set to become musts in a chic women’s wardrobe.

The new women’s capsule collection is based on iconic men’s styles – the Alessandro lace-up, Andy loafer, Classic Sicilia slip-on, Classic Chelsea Boot and the new Contrast Oxford – with a distinctly light and feminine touch.

In addition to the Paris Berluti stores the collection is available in a “stolen from men” space in Le Bon Marché Rive Gauche in Paris while supplies last.
