Blu Barrett was launched in 1999 as the casual, sporty offshoot of the historic Italian luxury footwear company, Barrett, which was founded in Parma in 1917. While the main Barrett line focuses on classic, elegant men's dress shoes, Blu Barrett was created to appeal to a dynamic, modern man seeking versatile options for both office and leisure. The collection includes sneakers, loafers, and slip-ons that maintain the parent company's core values of fine craftsmanship, premium materials, and meticulous, tailored details.
