De schoenen van Berluti zijn vaak extravagant en soms zelfs over the top [deze zijn zelfs ronduit lelijk] maar de Olga is een voorbeeld van een prachtige schoen, inmiddels een klassieker en van geïmiteerd maar zelden verbeterd imho.
Berluti heeft evenals StefanoBi {tot 1996 maker van het Berluti schoeisel] en anderen een workshop in Ferrara:
Berluti was founded in 1895 by Alessandro Berluti, who had come to France to establish himself as a craftsman shoemaker. Berluti grew and flourished under the successive guidance of Torello Berluti, Talbinio Berluti and, to the present day, Olga Berluti. Olga Berluti is the creator of the men's shoes which bear her name. In 1993, LVMH acquired the brand with the objective, shared with the creator of Berluti shoes, of assuring global expansion while preserving the soul of the business. In 1996, there was an expansion and renovation of the historical shop in the rue Marbeuf (8th arrondissement) in Paris and the creation by Olga Berluti of five new lines (Tatoués, Guerrier, Dandy, Esprit de la Couture, Lasso) and an infinite variety of colours. *In the same year, Berluti's ready-to-wear workshop at Ferrara, Italy, was acquired, in order to assure development coupled with quality control. Berluti’s ambition is to become the international benchmark for truly elegant footwear for men. *
