if you had to choose one that is. I know that its blake construction is not popular with many SFers.

I am kenn on the Andy lace ups but the Alessandro looks gorgeous as well.

Anyone know what's the difference between the Alessandro and the Demesures ? Even their website shows the same picture for both models.

Alessandro is the name of the model, wholecuts with 3 eyelets. Demesure is the name of the collection.

Berluti has the Alessandro shoe in different lasts; Club, Demesure and a few others.

I think the Demesure was a newer limited version of the Alessandro...
