American luxury fashion brand [Michael Kors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/giant-hamilton-handbag) has announced the launch of its 'MKC x 007' collection, its first-ever collaboration with the James [Bond](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/james-bond-carryon-trolley-case) 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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/james-bond-2024-advent). 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.
