GEARED FOR FLIGHT

Since 2015, two of Germany’s most recognised luxury

brands, Montblanc and BMW, have been in partnership,

producing highly-coveted lifestyle products from

leather creations to writing instruments. Five successful

collaborations later, they have come together again to

take the term “travelling in style” to greater heights with

the all-new bespoke Montblanc x BMW Luggage Set,

with only 15 available.

Perfect for today’s multi-hyphenate jet-setter, the

fi ve-piece luggage set is a fi ne companion whether one is

travelling for work or play. Comprising a guitar bag, surf

bag, duffel bag, suit bag and leather hard-shell case, the fi ve

models spark the spirit of adventure while also offering an

effective packing alternative should formal occasions arise.

Handcrafted at Montblanc’s main leather facility

in Florence, the luggage set is made from high-quality

leather that is perforated in black or embossed with black

darts in red. The brand’s signature star emblem is also

pinned to the front of each piece as an indication of its

impeccable standard of craftsmanship. Moreover, there is

also a meticulously high level of detail paid to the design

of each piece that refl ects BMW’s spirit of innovation and

functionality. For example, the sturdy hard-shell suitcase

not only features a main component with elastic straps, it

also has three zip compartments and two large sections for

accessories, which is perfect to keep belongings organised.
