Ooow crap! Just when I thought that I would not be wanting to buy a new bag anymore soon because there has been nothing I really like, Berluti just pushed its classic E Mio in four irresistible colors – powdery caramel, smoky green (HOT!), ember red (HOT!) and silky blue. Price is GBP1,940, which is steep enough but it is retailing at SGD5,690 in the Berluti store at Ngee Ann City. The bag also includes a shoulder strap so it is just… well, perfect.

For men who are desperately looking for a classically stylish bag but feel that monogram from Vuitton or GG from Gucci compromise your masculinity, look no further as Berluti has the answer for you. Berluti cleverly engraved ancient script making it the house signature, subtle yet iconic. At USD2,000 a pop, I think it is perfectly justifiable taking into consideration the superb polished leather (which is still very very masculine) and the ultimate workmanship comparable to that of Hermes. Berluti bags and shoes are high on my list now. Maybe it comes with age but I am in the out of looking for more classic than trendy stuff lately. Good thing is I have been very careful with my purchase.

I am still not over Berluti. In fact, the more I see, the more I want many of them now. Bags like these are the bags you could buy, use now and leave behind for the next generation and that makes the price tags really justifiable, don’t you think? The Berluti Collection Venezia is a range of beautifully treated leather bags. The look is classic and luxury, beautiful then, now and forever.
