Montblanc introduces a new contemporary collection of goods that stem from cross-category themes in an all-black palette. The inspiration behind the capsule nods to its own heritage with the UltraBlack range showcasing at the Feuerie Collection gallery located in Berlin.
The brand features functional leather items including a Min-Folio, a Clutch, and a Backpack. All of these items are detailed with the "M" motif embossed right onto the premium fabric materials. The modern designs are all noted with traditional themes in a subtle and sleek way. The brand also features the Montblanc 1858 Geosphere UltraBlack Watch as a nod to its own timepiece legacy. It is designed in alignment with the same tonal theme across the capsule.
