My name is Robert and I am writing to you regarding an exceptional Arnys leather jacket that has come into my possession. Having read your interview with Permanent Style and learning about your invaluable expertise in preserving Arnys’ heritage at Berluti, I believe you might be able to provide crucial insights about this piece.
About the jacket:
• Material: Cognac/mustard yellow “Vera Pelle” Italian leather
• Hardware: Lampo zippers with “Arnys” branding
• Lining: Complete Arnys logo pattern throughout
• Labels: “Made in Italy”, “Lavorazione Artigianale”
• Condition: Completely unworn, appears to be deadstock
• Style: Motorcycle-inspired with quilted shoulder details
My questions:
1. Can you confirm if Arnys produced leather jackets in Italian factories during your tenure?
2. Do you recall this specific cognac/mustard colorway in the Arnys collection?
3. Would you have any records or memory of Italian suppliers who worked with Arnys on leather goods?
4. Given the pristine condition, could this be from remaining stock after the 2012 LVMH acquisition?
I would be deeply grateful for any information you could share about this jacket’s authenticity, production period, or historical context within the Arnys collection. As someone who has dedicated their life to preserving Arnys’ legacy, your expertise would be invaluable in properly documenting this piece.
I would be happy to provide additional photographs or details if helpful.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
