Conceived in the late 1940s by Léon Grimbert, founder of Arnys, the Forestière drew inspiration from the jackets worn by forest rangers. With its straight cut and generous proportions, it introduced a freer approach to elegance that appealed to the artists and intellectuals of the Left Bank.

Redesigned in the 1980s by his son Jean Grimbert, the Forestière became part of the Berluti universe in 2012, where its silhouette was further refined. Since Winter 2025, it has taken its place at the heart of the Maison’s wardrobe, evolving from season to season through new materials and interpretations.

Today, the Maison celebrates this icon at 14 Rue de Sèvres, the historic home of the Forestière. A dedicated space now brings together a broad selection of designs, inviting visitors to discover the many expressions of a silhouette that has continued to evolve since its creation.

From its original design to contemporary interpretations, from leather to Grande Mesure, four distinct expressions of the Forestière showcase the savoir-faire that has shaped its story.

Available exclusively on Rue de Sèvres, this edition remains true to the Forestière’s historic design. Each year, it is offered in eight variations conceived by the boutique teams, with a distinctive selection of materials and details.

 A contemporary interpretation of the emblematic jacket, the Forestière Wardrobe explores new materials, colours and ways of wearing it from season to season. Its silhouette also evolves into new forms, from coats to trench coats.

Launched in 2026 and available exclusively on Rue de Sèvres, this offering brings the Forestière together with Berluti’s leather savoir-faire. Available in thirty patinated shades, it can be personalised with a choice of Scritto, linings and buttons to create an individual interpretation of the design.

Heir to a tradition established at Arnys in the 1950s, the Grande Mesure Forestière is made entirely by hand in the Rue de Sèvres atelier. Rare fabrics and bespoke details come together over a series of appointments and an ongoing dialogue with the client, giving rise to a truly unique creation.
