Berluti’s Un Jour jacket glows in poetic Seoul celebration

Burnt orange leather catches the light like a small flame. At a Seoul celebration of Saint Exupéry’s poetic universe, the Maison’s ambassador Lee Junho wore the Un Jour jacket, its supple hide treated in Fiamma Patina, a finish that deepens the warmth of the cognac tone. The blouson cuts a clean silhouette: a zip running down the front, the collar standing crisp against a white shirt, black wool trousers falling with elegant proportion to polished brown shoes.

The evening itself glowed with the iconography that connects Berluti to The Little Prince. Vast yellow stars, rendered in paper and light, bloomed from golden stems scattered throughout the venue. The imagery belonged entirely to Saint Exupéry’s tender fable, yet the jacket itself spoke the language of Berluti’s own universe: craftsmanship rendered invisible by its precision, leather that tells stories through colour and patina rather than proclamation. The Fiamma Patina technique, which layers tone across the hide, creates depth that shifts as the wearer moves through light and shadow.

What matters about this evening is not merely the collaboration, but the sensibility it reflects. The Un Jour jacket, spare and architecturally considered, pairs beautifully with narrative and sentiment. Saint Exupéry wrote of essential things seen only by the heart. Berluti, through seven decades of exacting leatherwork and tailoring, has always understood something similar: that luxury lives not in excess but in the perfection of a single, perfect thing. The jacket, in its restraint and its depth of colour, embodies exactly that philosophy.
