Berluti, the esteemed French luxury house, introduces the Andy bag—a masterful reinterpretation of its iconic craftsmanship, drawing inspiration from one of the Maison’s most recognizable figures, Andy Warhol. Originally known for the bespoke loafer designed for Warhol’s slender feet, Andy’s legacy now extends into a new realm of sartorial elegance with this distinctive bag.
Channeling the retro aesthetics of a 1970s schoolbag, the Andy bag boasts a structured and geometric silhouette reminiscent of the loafer’s sleek form. However, Berluti has infused contemporary practicality into the design, equipping it with both a sturdy handle and a broad shoulder strap. This dual-carry option caters to modern professionals and stylish urban commuters alike. The bag’s secure snap clasp closure blends seamlessly into the design, ensuring both function and form.
Honoring its namesake loafer, the Andy bag features subtle yet meaningful nods to its predecessor. The contoured seam, a signature element of Berluti’s footwear craftsmanship, serves as the primary decorative feature, converging towards the center in a manner reminiscent of the loafer’s pointed toe. Additionally, the bag incorporates a refined leather band echoing the iconic penny bar, complemented by hand-sewn vertical stitches that highlight Berluti’s meticulous artisanal techniques. The lateral moccasin stitching, a hallmark of slip-on shoe construction, further exemplifies the interplay between the Maison’s diverse craftsmanship traditions.
Beyond its refined aesthetic and signature Berluti patina, the Andy bag is built to endure daily wear with a robust construction. Designed as the ultimate companion for the modern-day professional, it seamlessly blends timeless elegance with contemporary functionality, offering a sophisticated upgrade to everyday accessories.
