Creative Director Kris Van Assche Crafts The First Berluti Patterned Canvas

“The more I think of the future, the more I want to anchor it in a historical context. This Signature Canvas creates a bridge between the past and the present.” – Creative Director Kris Van Assche.

Engraved on a black textured fabric that resists everyday use, the Berluti SIGNATURE pattern marks the Maison’s first patterned canvas created by Belgian fashion designer and Creative Director, Kris Van Assche. Inspired by the archives, the all-new signature canvas remains anchored in a historical context, seamlessly bridging the past with the present, whilst reinventing the boundaries between craftsmanship and style in true Berluti form.

Offering a variety of briefcases, cross-body bags, clutches, totes, backpacks, travel bags, and a sailor bag, this collection comes complete with the Maison’s trademark finishing alongside its latest emblematic.

Created in collaboration with British luxury travel lifestyle brand, Globe-Trotter, each case represents the product of combined expertise, assembled with the same set of tools Globe-Trotter has used since its foundation, whilst featuring the exclusive Berluti SIGNATURE Canvas.

Presenting the brand’s first-ever, exclusive handcrafted luggage collection, brand-and-travel-enthusiasts can expect a solid-yet-lightweight base in which 14 layers of Japanese paper are compressed to form an organically textured shell, completed in the brand’s SIGNATURE canvas. With leather handles, corners, and straps, the Globe-Trotter Travel Capsule includes eight hard cases in different formats: 2 rolling suitcases, a shoe trunk holding up to six pairs of shoes, a shoe care kit case, and a watch box, as well as day-to-day accessories such as a messenger bag, a backpack, and a briefcase – all of which, engraved with the Berluti logo.
