American luxury fashion brand Michael Kors has announced the launch of its 'MKC x 007' collection, its first-ever collaboration with the James Bond franchise. Of course, the three-piece capsule looks to celebrate the release of the forthcoming Bond film, 'No Time To Die.'
The 'MKC x 007' collection features three luxury bags -- the 'Bond Bandcroft 'satchel, the 'Bond Carryall,' and the 'Bond Duffel.' Made in Italy and crafted using premium calf leather, the 'Bond Bandcraft' satchel was created exclusively for the upcoming Bond film. In fact, it is the bag that Moneypenny, played by Naomie Harris, will be seen carrying throughout the movie.
The 'Bond Carryall' is crafted using a similar, smooth calf leather, while the 'Bond Duffel,' is rendered in a cotton canvas. To celebrate the launch of the new capsule Michael Kors has also released a short film directed by Brando De Sica.
