A conscientious, sustainable and functional collection of bags and accessories containing nylon yarn sourced from regenerated waste.
As part of its commitment to crafting more products that are respectful of the Blue Planet and contribute to its preservation for future generations, Montblanc is introducing Montblanc Blue Spirit, a collection of bags and accessories containing regenerated fabric and other environmentally conscious materials. The functional assortment of backpacks, totes, cross-body bags and a duffle in black are crafted for urban explorers and creative adventurers who care about their footprint on the environment while expressing themselves through their choice of stylish companions.
“At Montblanc, it is our belief to leave a mark and it is our ambition to bring a positive impact to the world. Therefore, sustainability is at the heart of our actions. We created Montblanc Blue Spirit collection by making environmentally sustainable choices, while ensuring each piece delivers on the functionality and excellence in design that people expect from Montblanc,” says Nicolas Baretzki, Montblanc CEO.
Every material used in the creation of the eco-friendly line was carefully selected to minimize environmental impact, starting with the use of the fabric used both externally and for the lining of each piece – a sustainable nylon yarn called Econyl ®. Through a radical regeneration process waste including fishing nets, carpets and fabric scraps, is recycled into a nylon that not only finds its original purity once again, but Econyl ® can be recycled infinitely without losing its quality.

The contemporary design in black with blue edges, pairs the nylon with elegant leather made from eco sustainable zero impact leather. The leather selected for the Montblanc Blue Spirit collection decreases the consumption of water, use of chemical products, the pollutant load and reduces CO2 emissions. The stainless steel in the detailing in 100% recyclable. Every detail made from plastic including the closures and buckles in certain styles have had a previous life. The straps are made with recycled polyester (Rpet or rePET) that is almost identical to virgin polyester in terms of quality, but its production requires 59% less energy and results in a 32% decrease in CO2 emissions.
Owning a piece from the Montblanc Blue Spirit collection is a personal commitmentto making a meaningful contribution to a more sustainable future. An internal leather tag stitched inside each of the pieces features a manifesto celebrating the spirit of those contributing to safeguarding the Blue Planet through their actions: “Those who dare, those who will, those who care make the difference”. The collection features a leather tag with the original Montblanc name featuring a blue detail as the Maison’s own signature to emphasize a commitment to sustainable production.
The full Montblanc Blue Spirit assortment includes two city Backpacks, a Tote with straps so it can be worn as a backpack, an Envelope bag to be worn over the shoulder and a Mini Envelope, a Belt bag, and a Duffle, Wash Bag, a Pouch and a Case for overnight trips.
With the Montblanc Blue Spirit collection, the environmentally conscious can experience modern sophistication and smart functionality, while reaffirming their commitment to reducing their footprint on the precious and fragile planet they call home.
