Berluti details and patina

For the the day I have sampled a Berluti creation for it's particular details and patina attributed to this Indio ankle boot. The House of Berluti is well known for its very extreme patina and artistic creations. Fascinating and well executed. On this bootie so much is emphasised on bringing the details out to the surface for exploration and admiration.

I would not be surprised if someone told me that this is the work of one of the patina Masters, be it Master Hom, Master Dandy Shoe Care or even Master Paulus Bolten. Well whoever was the patina Master on this booties, did a great job. Let the pictures speak for themselves and you be the judge.

Shoe Patina by Hom Nguyen

I have been always intrigued by the patina artists, makers or designers. But when I came across Hom the leather patina artist, I had to admit that, there are patina artists out there and there is Hom. Meaning that Hom is an outstanding artist within this genre.

I am aware that Mr. Hom's work may not be everyone's cup of tea in regards to the shoe patina, but I have to admit that the Gent brings a new dimension for individualising shoes or leather goods. A true artist, he does make some amazing things with leather, he makes Berluti look like a toddler in this game. 

Whats even surprising is that Mr. Hom is the "New kid on the block" within the French patina artists.

Mr. Hom's work is not only limited to leather items such as shoes or bags, as you will note on the pictures below.
