Montegrappa — the Italian brand founded in 1912 and known for fine writing instruments — has released a curated line of luxury leather accessories. Dubbed the AMB-ITION collection, this range is now available at its boutiques in Beverly Hills, Singapore, Dubai, and soon London.
Montegrappa's slick and ultra-chic AMB-ITION collection includes weekender and duffle bags, backpacks, laptop cases, small leather goods, footwear, and even a cashmere baseball cap. Each piece features the Montegrappa Ambigram rendered in either 24-carat gold-plated brass or ultra-black ruthenium finishes. The square matelassé motif across many items draws visual inspiration from luxury sports car interiors, while the sneakers are handcrafted in Veneto from LWG-certified calfskin and come in understated Black or luminous Gold editions.
