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.

*ECONYL is a trademark registered by Aquafil S.p.A

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.

TOYM launches Heroes Unmasked campaign to benefit medical frontliners of PGH

Ryan Cayabyab, Lea Salonga, and Gary V collaborate on the inspiring song Heroes – the first time ever that Lea and Gary have worked on a song together

This holiday season, be a hero for our heroes – donations help PGH’s Panatag na Kanlungan Project, while the Song Challenge presents a creative way to show support 

The entire country continues to live in such formidable times as we navigate the uncharted course of the COVID-19 pandemic. And no other sector of society has been carrying the brunt of this burden more than the healthcare system, led by the tireless medical frontliners who put their lives on the line daily for the sake of the rest of us Filipinos. As everyone looks forward to recovery and better times, there are still many things that we need to work on and many whom we need to extend help to.

The TOYM has a long-standing reputation as an institution that honors outstanding young men and women, whose selfless dedication to their profession or vocation has resulted in significant contributions to their countrymen’s welfare. With the current need for assistance, TOYM is leading an initiative to raise funds to benefit the Philippine General Hospital (PGH), in recognition of its laudable efforts of providing quality healthcare for Filipinos from all socio-economic classes.

Heroes Unmasked is the campaign that benefits the Panatag na Kanlungan Project of PGH, which provides necessary assistance for medical frontliners and volunteers. The endeavor is highlighted by an original song composition and music video created through the collaborative efforts of iconic musical artists Ryan Cayabyab, Lea Salonga, and Gary Valenciano.

Historic for being the first song ever that Lea and Gary have worked together on, Heroes is inspired by and dedicated to the medical frontliners who put their lives on the line daily to heal, care for, and alleviate the sufferings of fellow Filipinos. The touching and poignant piece is also meant to galvanize the nation to encourage and show their solidarity with these modern-day heroes.

“TOYM is honored and grateful to have three of the biggest names in music collaborate to offer their talents, time, and voices to drive awareness and support for the Heroes Unmasked campaign,” says Donnie V. Tantoco, Chairman of TOYM. “We’re also very proud that Heroes is actually the first song ever that Lea and Gary have worked on together. As an institution that recognizes young individuals who have positively impacted larger society, we think it is time to take bolder action, and we hope that our call can be answered by the entire nation for the benefit of our medical frontliners.” 

This coming holiday season, the campaign presents many ways to support the cause. Both corporate and personal donations are welcome, the details of which are available at www.toymheroescampaign.org.

Everyone can view and share the Heroes music video on Youtube, and participate in Hero’s Hour on November 17 at 8:00PM, when the TOYM community and the public join hands in streaming the video to drive awareness on the efforts to benefit PGH. The music video is also easily searchable on Youtube, just key in Heroes Unmasked on the search bar.     

For those who would like to show their support in a more creative manner, TOYM has also launched the Heroes Unmasked Song Challenge. Open to anyone 15 years old and above, participants can create a video and dedicate it to a frontliner they consider their hero.

Video entries may be a song cover, dance, slideshow, or any animated format, played to the song Heroes, and uploaded on their preferred platform, whether Facebook, Instagram or Youtube, with the hashtags #HeroesUnmasked #TOYM #PGH. Cash prizes are at stake for standout videos including a grand prize of P20,000, and P15,000, P10,000, and P5,000 for first, second and third runners-up, respectively. The challenge runs until December 31, 2021.

The full mechanics for the Heroes Unmasked Song Challenge can be found at www.toymheroescampaign.org. DTI Fair Trade Permit No. FTEB-129782 Series of 2021.

TOYM declares it a time to be a hero for our heroes. Donate to the cause, join the song challenge, and stream the music video to show your support.
