The legend goes that one day in Paris, Andy Warhol just walked into the Berluti boutique and reinvented the standard penny loafer as he saw fit. Olga Berluti, now the head of the outfit, was only a young cobber for the shop at the time. She took on Warhol’s project and used the skin of a calf that had a proclivity for rubbing against the electric barbed wire fence; the leather was scarred, and after hearing the story, Warhol apparently never wanted shoes made from obedient calf ever again. Although most of the story could very well be invented, one thing, however, remains true—today Berluti still makes the loafer Andy Wahol designed.
