This is an Alessandro Calligraphy Scritto Patina Leather Slip-on Sandal Loafer shoe, sold exclusively in Japan by Berluti. It's designed like the Alessandro, a three-eyelet, whole-cut masterpiece that represents the maison, but with the opening cut off. It's a refined sandal with a soft texture of patina leather engraved with the Calligraphy Scritto pattern on the surface. It features a very beautiful emerald blue patina, and the inner is also made of Venezia leather patinated in a vibrant blue. The texture of the patina has beautiful gradations, unlike the flat colors of current products, and the workmanship is exceptionally impressive, setting it apart from current items. Currently, due to rising raw material prices and environmental protection policies, the amount of dye used for patination has been reduced as much as possible, resulting in a significant change in color. Whether it's better is a matter of personal preference, but from the perspective of increasing brilliance over time, the craftsmanship of leather products from this era is undoubtedly superb. The overall calligraphy and stamp placement are also good, and the hallmark is included, so you can tell it's Berluti at a glance. It's a pair that's full of Berluti's signature style, with a dressy feel inspired by the Alessandro lace-up shoe, even though it's a sandal. There's rubber on the back of the tongue, so you don't need to use the laces. It's an open sandal without a heel counter, so the size can be worn widely, from a slightly larger size to a perfect fit. It can be worn outdoors, as well as indoors at ateliers or hotels. This is a valuable piece from the era of the 4th Madame Olga.
