BELSTAFF X MAGNUM – EXCLUSIVE ACCESSORIES COLLECTION
Wanderlust?
Belstaff introduces a new and complete accessories line inspired by the concept of adventure travel, and we dore it!
The Iconic British brand Belstaff has linked up with legendary photo agency Magnum Photos on the project. Magnum is the leading organization for authored storytelling and its photographers have chronicled the world with an insatiable curiosity and independent sensibility since the 1930s. It is these shared values that have led to this authentic partnership, celebrating the spirit of adventure.
World-renowned photographer and 10 times World Press Photo Winner, Paolo Pellegrin, worked with Belstaff VP Men’s Design, Frederik Dyhr, on the creation of a Magnum X Belstaff camera / kit bag. Pellegrin’s knowledge of what is required in the field led to this modular creation with removable internal sections – which can easily double as a weekender bag for those not out in the field. The brushed canvas bag is available in sand with cognac hand-waxed leather for a more rugged look, or in black with black hand-waxed leather trims for a more moto-inspired edge.

Belstaff Colonial Messenger Shoulder Bag – black
‘The Magnum bag is the perfect combination of high design and functionality,’ Paolo Pellegrin, Magnum Photographer.
‘The working relationship was very organic. There is a shared belief that functionality is of equal importance to that of the look and feel, which is very much in line with how we design at Belstaff.’ Frederik Dyhr, Belstaff VP Men’s Design
Magnum’s Pellegrin shot the campaign in action out in the field. Featuring Rein Langeveld, the campaign perfectly embodies the spirit of the collaboration with both brands sharing an independent spirit of adventure and style in motion.
The campaign also celebrates a Belstaff classic, the Colonial bag (so beloved by Brad Pitt and Will Smith), which has been updated for today’s discerning customer with leather trims, new hardware, an added external back section for easy access and a handle for an alternative way to carry besides cross-body/over-shoulder.
Further new additions to the accessories range include backpacks in technical nylon (Roadmaster) or lux leather (Tourmaster), a classic messenger available in nylon (Roadmaster) or hand waxed leather mixes (Citymaster) and a tote (Pinner) offered in canvas with leather trims or in Belstaff’s proprietary hand-wax leather in a range of colourways.
The collection launches in store and online from July, prices starting from £295/ €350/ $450.
