This is a rare, early olive patina Berluti Toujours Scritto leather tote bag, a Berluti classic. The Toujours, one of the most popular bags in Japan, is a versatile tote bag embodying the maison's concept of "forever." While the Toujours is a masterpiece used by many, this early model offers a unique presence, setting it apart from others. The color is the early olive, now available only through special order. It features the indescribably beautiful patina unique to Berluti. This is a model from before the leather suppliers changed and before the current method of applying patina with less dye, resulting in a beautiful gradation of color and revealing the high quality and potential of the raw leather. Those familiar with leather will be surprised to find such high-quality leather used in a tote bag upon touching it. Furthermore, while current models have a cotton lining, this one features interior pockets made of Venezia leather with the same patina color, adding to its luxurious feel. Retail price: ¥545,600 Currently, this olive color is only available through special order, with a price of around ¥700,000 and a delivery time of 4-6 months. This is a guaranteed authentic product, and it can be maintained with free or paid services, including polishing, at Berluti stores nationwide in Japan. The condition is almost unused, with some minor signs of wear, but it is in excellent condition with no significant damage or stains. The leather is glossy as a result of regular maintenance, and there are no creases or damage to the handles or the edges. There is no noticeable damage to the bottom or the corners, and the interior pockets are clean. Approximate size: Height 31 cm, Top width 46 cm, Thickness 13 cm As the Toujours is the most popular bag in Japan, versatile for business, dates, and shopping, I recommend this piece from a better era. Recently, I have seen several people re-dyeing used Berluti items with non-authentic dyes and listing them without explanation. Please be aware that this not only significantly diminishes the color and texture of the patina, which is Berluti's greatest appeal, but also prevents you from receiving authentic maintenance. The items I offer have their original color and leather texture without any dyeing, and you can rest assured that they will be eligible for authentic maintenance in the future.
