Ultimate Ultra-Rare $4,150 BERLUTI Stunning Alligator Croc Embossed Wholecut Leather Oxfords, Godly Details Throughout – Tom Ford, Brunello Cucinelli Aesthetic. Fits 10 – 10.5 US
“There is no luxury without rarity” — Jérôme Mage
These are an ultra-rare version of BERLUTI’s iconic signature wholecut oxford, crafted from a single, seamless piece of leather. These are incredibly difficult to make, and instantly iconic (see extensive reference photos).
This ultra-rare version with the stunning embossed Alligator is absolutely striking. These just “make” any outfit you pair it with. Tom Ford famously notes how the alligator texture adds depth, dimension and character while creating a jaw-dropping aesthetic. This is why they look equally amazing dressed up with sartorial looks, or going casual with jeans – they elevate everything around them, it’s the “halo effect” of having elite footwear!
– Everyone knows the exclusivity, rarity and price of Alligator (the real Berluti Alligator versions go for over $12,000!) The plain regular Berluti oxfords go for $3K w/tax.
– Kirby Allison of The Hanger Project also did an amazing 2-part series going into BERLUTI to see the process of how they craft these works of art; it’s just staggering how much goes into it – again, well worth watching if you’re considering these!
As much of a diehard TOM FORD fan as I am, BERLUTI quality is just unreal. My tailor agreed and she has worked on everything! She couldn’t believe the craftsmanship and attention to detail. She shortened the sleeves a touch on a Berluti suede jacket for me and told me inside it had four layers going on. Even more unbelievable, she said where most brands cut corners in places people would never view, Berluti actually went the extra mile and ADDED details no one will ever see! We found this again opening up a quilted puffer section I wanted her to slim down and it had four levels and layers of stitching inside one simple quilted panel! That tells you everything you need to know. These are literal works of art! (see photo reference for their renowned artisan craftsmanship).
As TOM FORD famously said:
“Menswear is a detail-driven business”
BERLUTI rewards those with an eye for detail.
Selling this for an industry friend. As you can see from the heels they have very little wear due to his extensive collection. Shoes only.
SIZE NOTE
These are 10.5 US (9.5 UK). My friend is a size 10.5 US. I’m a 10.5 – 11 US. For me these feel comfortable, but may be just a bit tight if I’m being nitpicky, so they would probably best suit a 10 - 10.5 US.
These are approximately 12 inches long by 4 inches wide at the base.
