Early Berluti Au Grand Jour Patina Leather Clutch Bag

This is the earliest model of Berluti's largest leather clutch bag, the "Au Grand Jour."

It's a masterpiece crafted during the golden era when Madame Olga was in charge, a period everyone acknowledges.

It features pockets for an iPad and smartphone, as well as a large pocket that can accommodate a laptop up to 15 inches.

In addition, it has a highly functional and beautiful design, including a pen pocket with a flap, a coin purse, a business card holder, and a pocket for a long wallet. It's lavishly adorned with matching patina Venezia leather throughout.

The exterior also has a zippered pocket and a sleeve pocket where you can easily slip in your smartphone.

While it's called a clutch bag, its actual size and usability are closer to a business bag or briefcase, similar in size to the current "Lift."

The exquisite craftsmanship is evident in every detail.

While you might see people with the smaller "Nino GM," this model is unlikely to be seen on anyone else.

Also, unlike the current L-shaped zipper, this one has a U-shaped zipper that allows it to open and close completely, making it very easy to take things in and out.

The quality of the leather is also exceptional compared to current standards, with a very fine grain and thickness.

The faint, line-like patterns are called "tiger stripes," a testament to the leather's life, and are patterns formed from the animal's habits and wrinkles in the moving parts.

Combined with the beautiful shades of patina, it allows you to enjoy a unique and fantastical expression, and these individual pieces are said to be very popular.

Its simple design makes it perfect for everyday use as well as for business.

Retail price: 308,000 yen

Currently, a special order would cost around 450,000 yen, but the delivery time would be about six months.

This is a genuine product purchased at the Berluti Aoyama flagship store, and free and paid maintenance, including polishing, is available at Berluti stores throughout Japan.

The color is a deep red patina, layered to change its expression the more you use it.

Berluti has many reds, but this one has a soft, skin-like gentleness.

Size: Approximately 29cm in height, 37cm in width, and 2.5cm in thickness.

The condition is a beautiful item with some signs of use, but no significant damage or stains.

The four corners are also very clean, and the zippers open and close smoothly both inside and out.
