A reinterpretation of Maison Kitsuné’s signature Camo Fox print appears emblazoned across the collection on Montblanc’s exquisitely crafted Saffiano leather, which takes the form of belt, tote bag, backpacks, messenger bag, and small accessories. The collection also features a camo fox notebook and minimally-designed yet distinctive Montblanc MB 01 Over-Ear Headphones. ‘Kitsuné’, the Japanese word for ‘fox’ is a symbol of versatility that – according to legend – possesses the power to change its appearance; Maison Kitsuné adopts this notion by continually reworking and adapting its repertoire as inspiration strikes, the resultant effect being an amalgam of a fashion label (Maison Kitsuné); music label (Kitsuné Musique); and cafés, roasteries, bars. and restaurants (Café Kitsuné).
Much like the multifaceted art de vivre – or the art of living – promoted by Maison Kitsuné, Montblanc strives to inspire and support those looking to make their mark on the world; encouraging people to seamlessly merge their professional aspirations with other facets of their lives to create art de vivre. “What makes this partnership so dynamic and exciting is bringing together two Maisons with very different origins, stories, and philosophies, yet complementary mindsets,” explains Vincent Montalescot, executive vice president of marketing at Montblanc.
“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 inspiration that defines Montblanc as the Maison of Luxury Business Lifestyle.”
The Montblanc x Maison Kitsuné capsule collection is available to shop in Montblanc physical stores and via the Montblanc webstore.
