What happens when Montblanc's classic leather designs collides with the cool and chic spirit of Maison Kitsuné? A new capsule collection of functional creations presented in a bold, fresh manner
The Montblanc x Maison Kitsuné 2021 capsule collection is evidence that collaborations between two seemingly different brands can spark off a novelty factor never seen before.
Montblanc partners the Parisian independent lifestyle label, which is known to be hip and eclectic, to create a collection of leather goods, wearables, and writing accessories.
“What makes this partnership so dynamic is bringing together two maisons of very different origins, stories and philosophies, and yet complementary mindsets. What we have created with this collaboration is a new, distinctive and original art de vivre that brings together the self-expression, creativity and playfulness of Maison Kitsuné and the passion, determination and inspire action that defines Montblanc as the maison of luxury business lifestyle,” says Vincent Montalescot, Montblanc's executive vice president of marketing.

For this collaboration, Montblanc injects its iconic leather good lines with the casual and curious attitude synonymous with Maison Kitsuné. Ranging from a document case to a sling backpack, the capsule is crafted from Saffiano printed leather that features the French marque's signature ‘Camo Fox’ motif. With Maison Kitsuné starting off as a music label, it was only natural for the collaboration to give birth to a creation related to the world of music: the same printed Saffiano leather is also found on the headband of the Montblanc MB 01 over-ear headphones.
