The touching debut men’s jewellery collection from Berluti

Berluti has engaged French jeweller Charlotte Chesnais to create its first bracelet collection. Launching this month, it marks the leather house’s first foray into men’s jewellery. Chesnais homed in on the tactile nature of materials and our basic desire to touch jewels while wearing them. ‘I wanted something simple but with a playful element, like when men touch the face of their watch.’ Comprised of three bracelets and one bangle, each design has a crafted leather detail reflecting the peculiarities of Berluti’s shoemaking techniques. The ‘Noed’ (knot) design, takes its name from Berluti’s double-loop shoelacing preference, while the doubletour ‘Embauchoir’ leather bracelet, pictured above, details the mechanism of its cedar shoe-trees on the clasp.
