A brand new line of leather goods designed for the fast-pace of city life draws it inspiration from the codes of vintage racing
For the urban explorer, life in the city is a daily race, a constant sprint to the finish line. Whether running through busy streets to a business meeting, cycling from one neighbourhood to another for a quick workout or even city hopping at the weekend to catch a new art show, speed and performance are essential. With the brand new collection Urban Racing Spirit, Montblanc has created leather companions for the hectic and unexpected pace of city life. While comfort and functionality are defining attributes of the collection, a combination of smooth and perforated black leather inspired by vintage racer gloves gives the collection a distinctly sporty look. Recalling the stripes on 1970s racing cars, red detailing on the zipper pullers and shoulder straps enhances the sporty attitude of the collection Urban Racing Spirit. The stylish reference to speed is featured on the special jacquard lining as red dotted lines on black.
The Urban Racing Spirit line meets the demands of both business and leisure; the speed and challenges of both work and play. A Document Case Slim with one main compartment, front and rear zipped pockets and, on the inside, one large zipped pocket, two mobile phone pockets and three writing instrument loops that make it the perfect companion for work on-the-go with plenty of storage to carry all personal technology. Conceived for the explorer who is always on the move, the Backpack with hook closure features a side pocket for a small bottle and a zipped compartment for shoes on the bottom, a practical design element new to Montblanc accessories. At the intersection of formal business and casual style, Messenger and Envelope Bags are versatile and light for carrying essentials around.
For extended trips, the collection includes two travel bags in two different dimensions. The 48h Bag is the ideal solution for short business trips that blend free time to explore with one main compartment for technology including a padded pocked for a laptop and two mobile phone pockets, and a second main compartment for personal clothes with three net pockets. For leisure time, the Duffle Bag is a stylish addition to any adventure with its amble storage space and its sleek racing-inspired detailing. It features one main compartment, one zipped front pocket and one zipped compartment for shoes on the bottom.
Small leather goods complete the Urban Racing Spirit assortment with perforated leather wallets featuring a new design concept with vertical credit card slots that makes the wallets more compact and enhances their sporty attitude. In addition to the Wallet 6cc and the Vertical Wallet 12cc Zip Around, the collection includes a Wallet 6cc Mini with Coin Case, a Wallet 3cc with Coin Case and the very up to date 3cc Pocket Holder with View Carry Me, as well as a Pen Pouch and the Key Fob Bar. Sprinting to the finish line has never looked so stylish with the Urban Racing Spirit line.
