Montblanc presented its Spring/Summer 2027 Leather Collections during Milan Men’s Fashion Week at Salone dei Tessuti, marking the 100th anniversary of Montblanc leather goods.
Montblanc’s leather heritage started in 1926 during a new era of mobility when pens were no longer confined to the desk but were taken by ambitious travelers across lands, seas and continents. As a result, Montblanc introduced pen pouches as its first ever leather goods, helping customers keep their prized pens protected on journeys near and far.
Under the creative direction of Marco Tomasetta, who joined Montblanc in 2021 as Artistic Director, the Maison’s leather goods have continued to evolve with the introduction of shapes that bring together Montblanc’s writing culture and leather expertise. Each piece reflects master craftsmanship and a distinctive blend of practicality and elegance that defines the Maison’s DNA. This vision came to life in the Milan showroom, which was transformed into an experiential space that pays homage to 100 years of Montblanc leather goods through installations, live craftsmanship, and curated product universes.
Oversized installations acted as the visual highlight of the showroom, beginning with the Writing Traveler – an exaggerated, playful expression of Montblanc’s iconic Writing Traveler briefcase. Inspired by a “cabinet of curiosities”, the bag blends the creative spirit of the desk with leather craftsmanship in its distinctive design, characterised by dedicated pockets and slots for all personal essentials – from writing instruments to notebooks, small leather goods to watches.
Standing tall at the centre of the showroom, Montblanc’s Tree of Writing was reimagined with leather accents as a tribute to the Maison’s leather anniversary. At its roots, textured compositions crafted from surplus Montblanc leathers recalled the Maison’s leather goods’ origin as a protector of writing. At the canopy, paper branches were animated with leather-crafted animals and floral compositions, intertwined with letters, envelopes, and books that together tell a story of heritage, writing culture, and a milestone year in leather goods.
At a dedicated workbench, the Maison’s craftspeople showcased the making of leather pen pouches, while the Montblanc Desk offered guests a moment to reflect and put pen to paper throughout the showroom, embodying the concept of the Art of the Desk that celebrates this creative workspace.
For Spring/Summer 2027, Montblanc’s presented its Writing Traveler line in the corteccia sfumato and grain leathers in the season’s new colourways, alongside a bolder aesthetic in Extreme leather and new variations to the bag’s interior organisation. The Writing Traveler’s unique DNA lent inspiration to the new Soft Traveler line, transforming its design codes into softer, more fluid shapes crafted from suede and grain leathers. Softer silhouettes also took centre stage in the new Atlas line, most notable for its crossbodies and messengers in supple Extreme soft leather for enhanced comfort. The Art of the Desk collection continued to evolve with new sophisticated document holders, in addition to portable coffrets and writing boxes that unfold to reveal a writer’s tools.
The season’s novelties were defined by a sophisticated palette of cool, jewel-toned blues, greens and purples, complemented by warm amber accents and existing shades such as caramel and honey.
