Montblanc collection ripe for customization

MONTBLANC adds a new dimension to its signature business collection. The redesigned Montblanc Sartorial Collection features bags and smaller accessories in softer leather with a deep two-tone effect, new colors, and the introduction of a modularity system that allows small pieces to be attached to larger bags — creating new functionalities, styling options, and many customization possibilities. Inspired by the beauty and experience of handwriting, the design codes for Montblanc Sartorial are rooted in the Maison’s writing culture heritage. Recognizable ink bottles from the Montblanc archive have inspired the triangular design of the handles, while the construction of the sides of the bags evoke the opening of an envelope with two overlapping pieces of leather. The extensive assortment of large, medium and small leather pieces includes: Document Cases (large, medium, thin) and Backpacks (large, medium, small), with space for technical devices, A4 documents and other business essentials, including writing instruments in dedicated pockets. Open Totes for a more casual approach to work feature a classic vertical design and a new trapeze silhouette offering multi-wearable options with short handles in leather and longer handles in fabric. The capacity of the new tote can also be enlarged thanks to press buttons on the sides. A Bowling Bag with zip closure can be carried by hand, or on the shoulder thanks to the adjustable and detachable shoulder strap.  Compact bags include envelope-shaped Pouches, a Mini Bag, and a Mini Messenger featuring a back side leather band that fits the handles of document cases and totes, adding functionality to the larger pieces. Business companions include a laptop case with front handle, a notebook, and a notepad holder. wallets, card holders, pen pouches and key fobs make up the small accessory assortment, in a variety of colors as well as a new phone pouch that can be attached to document cases and totes so to have tech devices always at hands. The Montblanc Summit 3 Smartwatch also gets a Sartorial edit with the addition of leather straps in two new colors and a new watch face featuring customizable initials. While black and forged iron are the main colors for the bags, small accessories are also offered in red, blue, british green, mosto (a tone of burgundy) and ivory, creating a bold contrast when attached to larger pieces using the modular system created for the collection. The leather used throughout the collection has undergone a CO2 neutral tanning process. The Montblanc Sartorial Collection is available starting this month at Montblanc boutiques and online.
