Whether it’s dashing off to a business meeting on another continent at short notice, taking a city break with friends or setting off for a relaxing holiday with the family, the Montblanc Sartorial leather collection has been created to meet the wide ranging needs of today’s international traveler: Tradition and contemporary elegance are the two key characteristics that define the brand new Montblanc Sartorial line. The line builds on the long tradition started back in 1926 of using the saffiano leather in Montblanc leather goods and takes it a step further, through a contemporary approach to shapes and functionalities. The result is a collection which features clean modern lines and contemporary elegant styling while offering a comprehensive range of large and small leather goods that are ideal for business or pleasure travel and that represent the epitome of modern sophistication. In the case of the two trolleys, for instance, which come in black and indigo blue calf skin leather with saffiano print, as well as the capacious main storage section with its three removable pouches and pocket for shirts, there is a smaller front compartment to provide safe storage and immediate access for a laptop or tablet. Completing the luxurious business collection is a zipped back pocket for travel documents while quiet running wheels and an extending handle with a three-length extension and a comfortable leather grip make for effortless maneuverability. Designed to complement the trolleys is a collection of bags and smaller leather goods in selfconfident yet sophisticated colours such as black, tobacco, indigo, flannel grey and a rich, deep red. Continuing the theme of ease of use and access, the briefcase has pockets Montblanc launches Sartorial leather collection Luxurious, sophisticated and functional, the Sartorial leather collection is the perfect companion for the modern world traveller Montblanc Sartorial Collection | Leather Goods Page 2 designed for three writing instruments, a compartment for a phone and a separate section for business cards. Details such as the padded handle with the lock stitching in a subtly contrasting shade and an opening mechanism with two press-to-release side buttons, add style as well as usability. The single and double gusset briefcases feature a brand new signature lock and a satellite system that allows them to be carried on top of trolleys. Soft black leather beneath the handle which makes them more comfortable to carry and two-lock stitching on each side of the handle are typical of the distinctive detailing. There’s also a unique construction at the bottom of the cases that allows them to be flattened when empty so that they can be stored more easily in a suitcase. The small and large document cases have comfortable handles, one and two zippers respectively, and a number of compartments and sections for pens and a phone to help the user with organisation and access. Suitable for laptops and tablets as well as documents, their every minute detail expresses the Maison’s passion for classic designs and the finest craftsmanship, from the Montblanc emblem and jacquard lining that provides a discreet, additional touch of luxury. As well as a striking toiletries and cosmetics bag, there’s also a Messenger and a Reporter bag, each with a simple, elegant silhouette that looks both business like and stylish. Complementing the cases and bags in the collection are a number of smaller travel accessories for free-spirited men and women, including wallets, business card and passport holders, luggage tags and key fobs. Pen pouches with zips come in three sizes to accommodate one pen, two pens or the Montblanc Mozart pen. Created for women in particular are three wallets plus a coin case and a cosmetic pouch.
