Montblanc introduces a sophisticated capsule collection in collaboration with Zinédine Zidane, tailored for the modern traveler. This five-piece collection blends Montblanc’s renowned craftsmanship with Zidane’s active, global lifestyle, offering a combination of elegance, functionality, and lightweight materials. Each piece reflects a balance between form and practicality, crafted to meet the needs of those constantly on the move.
Zidane worked closely with Montblanc’s artistic director, Marco Tomasetta, contributing extensively to the design process. Zidane’s personal vision shaped the collection from start to finish. The result is a collection that aligns with Zidane’s busy lifestyle, but is also thoughtfully constructed for any frequent traveler. Crafted from premium leather and an ultra-light fabric, the collection’s signature black and pewter green tones exude a modern, understated luxury.
One standout feature is the pentagon-shaped leather tag that appears on each piece, a subtle tribute to Zidane’s legendary football career, reminiscent of a soccer ball’s stitching. It’s a thoughtful addition, connecting Zidane’s athletic legacy with the art of refined travel.
The collection places a strong emphasis on functionality without compromising on style. The travel bag showcases Montblanc’s Extreme 3.0 leather pattern, known for its durability and sleek texture, combined with the advanced M LOCK 4810 closure system, designed for security and ease. The #MY4810 carry-on suitcase, offered in matching black and pewter, is both spacious and refined, while the accompanying leather passport holder completes the cohesive travel set.
In addition to these larger items, the capsule collection offers a lightweight sling bag for minimalist travelers, and an ultra-light toiletry bag designed for essentials. Both items maintain the collection’s theme of practicality, crafted with the same attention to detail and aesthetic coherence.
Zidane’s active role in the design process is evident in every piece. His focus on functionality and design brought the collection to life in collaboration with Tomasetta. The long hours spent refining each model and selecting materials showcase Zidane’s dedication, ensuring that the collection is as practical as it is stylish.
