2024 - Berlutti

At the occasion of its expansion in the region with the re-opening of the Mall of Emirates and Dubai Mall boutiques, Berluti has partnered with Artist, jewellery Designer, and Photographer, Nadine Kanso to reinterpret the Maison’s logo, fusing Arabic calligraphy and Berluti’s signature B. The new motif is featured in a dedicated capsule collection of leather goods.

For this collaboration, Nadine worked closely with the house, choosing the Arabic character Kunn - meaning “to be” - as wordplay around the Maison’s B logo. In her depiction, both signs mesh together to create a new pattern within a circle, a symbol of unity and exclusivity.

The resulting collection features an embroidered patch on a white T-shirt, as well as leather goods with the pattern tattooed on the Venezia leather using Berluti’s signature tattoo technique. Complete with a timeless Cacao Intenso patina, the selection includes a Bambou card holder, Makore wallet, Tersio pouch, Un Jour briefcase and Time Off backpack. A Formula 1005 rolling suitcase and a cigar box - a nod to Nadine’s own cigar connoisseurship - complete the offering.
