Montblanc and Zinédine Zidane present new capsule collection in Madrid

The exclusive Montblanc x Zinédine Zidane capsule collection, designed in collaboration with the French sports legend, was officially presented during a special evening at the Montblanc boutique in Madrid.

Madrid, September 24, 2024 – Montblanc and Zinédine Zidane joined forces in Madrid to celebrate the launch of the Montblanc x Zinédine Zidane capsule collection. This special collection of stylish travel companions is inspired by Zidane’s dynamic lifestyle and meets the needs of modern, discerning travelers. The five functional and elegant creations were designed by Montblanc Artistic Director Marco Tomasetta and Zidane in close collaboration and are made of leather and lightweight fabric in black and greenish pewter gray. They combine functionality and modern design and reflect Zidane’s lifestyle.

In addition to Zinédine Zidane, the guests present included Montblanc Chief Marketing and Merchandising Officer Vincent Montalescot, Montblanc Mark-Maker Nacho Yanes, former footballer and friend of the brand Jaime Astrain and designer Pablo Erroz. They attended the official launch of the Montblanc x Zinédine Zidane capsule collection in the newly designed Montblanc boutique on Calle de Serrano in Madrid. After the red carpet and a cocktail reception, the guests learned more about the five creations of the capsule collection and the Montblanc Legend fragrance line, of which Zidane is the face. Afterwards, they were able to capture the magic of the evening on a postcard at a desk designed by Marco Tomasetta and send it directly to a loved one using the Montblanc mailbox on site.

“Working on this collection with such a creative mind and visionary as Marco was a fantastic personal experience for me, full of joy and enthusiasm,” says Zinédine Zidane. “It was fascinating to be involved in every step of the process, from design to production and even testing the products. This new experience has given me an even deeper insight into the world of Montblanc. The result is a collection that perfectly complements my travel style and that I hope will appeal to many other people on the go. I very much hope it will be enthusiastically received.”

The collection includes a distinctive duffle bag that combines signature brand codes from Montblanc’s leather collections: the Extreme 3.0 pattern and the Montblanc M LOCK 4810 buckle with its mountain sports-inspired clasp. The #MY4810 cabin trolley in black and pewter gray features a luggage strap with the Montblanc M LOCK 4810 buckle, while the leather passport case is presented in pewter gray. The sling bag worn diagonally across the body for smaller personal items and the toiletry bag for travel essentials are made from a particularly lightweight fabric with an Extreme 3.0 pattern and black leather details. A pentagonal leather label refers to the segments of a soccer and Zidane’s sporting achievements.

Marco Tomasetta, Montblanc Artistic Director, explains: “Zinédine knew exactly what he wanted to achieve with this collection and was heavily involved in all aspects of its creation. Together we worked countless hours, adapting designs and developing details. The result is a series of creations for an active, varied lifestyle where travel plays a crucial role. It was a lot of fun to realize our ideas on materials and designs together. I had a truly sophisticated and detail-oriented design partner! The collection reflects style traits close to Zinédine’s heart while emphasizing Montblanc’s distinctive design codes.”

Zidane’s legacy goes beyond his work as a legendary soccer player and top coach: he became the brand maker of Montblanc and the face of the Montblanc Legend fragrance for his achievements off the pitch – and for the values he embodies as a leader, philanthropist and cultural icon.
