Intended as a reflection of the maison’s dedication to exceptional moments, shared experiences, and adventuring off the beaten path, the collaboration sees Berlutti turn its discerning eye to the original version of the 1963 Land Rover Defender; one of the first 4 x 4 vehicles to expand its target use from professional to leisure. The virtually indestructible pick-up truck has been repainted in its original sand colour and is given the Berlutti treatment courtesy of a convertible canvas hood printed with an oversized Scritto motif and seats reupholstered in the brand’s Venezia leather with a striking aged Cacao Intenso patina. Storage space has been optimised, with concealed pockets and cases inspired by the interior compartments in Berluti bags.
The dashboard, with its analog chrome mileage counter, has been highlighted, and the storage space optimised, with new hidden pockets and cases inspired by the interior compartments in iconic Berluti bags. The dashboard of the Defender has been highlighted, with patinated leather complementing the analog chrome mileage counter. Subtle upgrades to the technical specifications have been made to suit contemporary needs, with power steering, disk brakes, ultra-light aluminium bodywork, and a 2.3L 4-cylinder petrol engine allowing the Berlutti Land Rover Defender to be driven on all roads with ease.
The announcement of the customised Berlutti Land Rover Defender is accompanied by a collection of car accessories, including travel blankets, pouches, and keyrings, as well as adventure-oriented pieces like backpacks and a hammock designed to be hung between the car and a tree.
The made-to-order vehicle is available upon request from Berlutti.
