For the urban traveller constantly seeking to discover new horizons, Montblanc introduces the Montblanc Urban Spirit Collection, a brand new leather collection defined by its innovative functionality. With streamlined designs, optimal comfort and smart storage solutions, each piece is thoughtfully crafted to fit in with the lifestyles of those on the go.  At the office, on the way to meetings, at the gym or on the road or in the air to a distant destination, the stylish yet robust pieces have the versatility to be companions for both business and leisure, and everything in between. From small leather accessories to larger leather goods, the 22 pieces that make up Montblanc’s latest leather collection provide at the same time reliability and security. Because every urban traveller wants to be worry-free as he focuses on his next endeavour, the line features the Montblanc Shield, a special lining added in the internal pockets of small leather goods and the internal zipped pocket of large leather goods to increase protection against the unauthorized reading, copying and tampering of personal data contained in the chips embedded in credit cards and passports.

 

The ultimate companion for the independent traveller’s daily needs, every functional detail of the Montblanc Urban Spirit Collection is designed to meet the needs of this modern-day pioneer. Made of soft-to-the-touch black Italian leather with a slightly waxy feel and a sophisticated matt effect, the high performance collection is the result of the highest level of craftsmanship nurtured at the Montblanc Pelletteria in Florence, where century-old traditions and skills bring the spirit of innovation to life in every one of the meticulously crafted pieces.  

 

Characterized by pure lines and simple masculine shapes and aesthetics, large leather pieces deliver smart organization solutions. A Double Gusset Briefcase with an iconic Montblanc closure system covered in leather features capacious compartments, as well as a practical satellite system that allows the briefcase to be conveniently hung on trolleys. A Large Document Case is thoughtfully designed with two compartments to store a laptop and documents separately, and also features the practical satellite system.  

 

Both the Compact Messenger and Reporter make perfect companions for the hectic and unexpected pace of city life, while the large duffle is a must-have for the weekend or daily traveller with an abundance of pockets and compartments to keep personal items safe. For streamlined storage, almost all bags in the collection include a pocket with elastic bands to provide quick access to all the contents of the bag and keep them in order.

 

Mirroring the multi-faceted lifestyle of this every day explorer, many pieces have multiple functions to adapt to the demands of its owner as he transitions from one occupation to the next. With its retractable handles, the Slim Document Case can serve as either a document case or as a portfolio, while the Tote Bag with its cufflink closure on the sides that allows the shape of the bag to be transformed from a daily workbag to a small duffle.  A multi-functional Backpack is thoughtfully equipped with a side compartment for the storage of a laptop, a dedicated pocket for a phone with see-through holes for headphones, a satellite system, as well as a storm cap to protect the bag from the elements and reflective bands for added safety by night. Furthermore, with a simple and quick adjustment, the backpack can be transformed into a document case.

 

Whether a Business Card Holder or a Pen Pouch, also the small accessories in the Montblanc Urban Sprit Collection have been designed to deliver on functionality and refined aesthetics. A selection of wallets feature external pockets to provide quick access to the most frequently used cards.

 

Because every day is an unexpected adventure, the Montblanc Urban Spirit Collection brings functionality to the modern traveller. Simple and elegant, every piece is a highly crafted leather companion built to last beautifully.
