Montblanc and Zinédine Zidane have teamed up to create a capsule collection of travel essentials for the modern man. The legendary footballer has collaborated with Marco Tomasetta, Montblanc’s Artistic Director, to create five elegant and functional pieces. Crafted from leather and lightweight fabrics in black and pewter green, the collection is designed for the global traveler.
“I enjoyed every moment of creating this collection,” said Zidane. “It reflects my travel style and I hope others will appreciate it.“
The pieces emphasize functionality, contemporary design and lightness, tailored to Zidane’s dynamic lifestyle. A pentagonal leather label, reminiscent of soccer stitching, pays tribute to his contributions to the sport over the years.
Beyond his achievements on the pitch, Zinédine Zidane serves as a Montblanc Mark-Maker and represents the Montblanc Legend fragrance line. His values as a coach, philanthropist and cultural icon align with Montblanc’s ethos.
The collection includes a travel bag featuring Montblanc’s signature Extreme 3.0 motif and the M LOCK 4810 clasp for secure fastening. Other items include a black and pewter #MY4810 cabin suitcase with matching passport holder, a sling bag for lighter travel and a lightweight fabric toiletry bag featuring the Extreme 3.0 motif.
“Zinédine had a clear vision,” said Tomasetta. “We worked closely together to create pieces that would suit his multifaceted life, in which travel is central. His attention to detail made our collaboration both challenging and rewarding.“
The Montblanc x Zinédine Zidane capsule collection will be available in Montblanc boutiques worldwide and online from September 2024.
