Presenting Hypebae’s 2024 Gift Guide: Montblanc’s Luxury Goods Kick-Off Week One
Seeing staple accessories transformed into something special.
In the run-up to the holiday season, Hypebae’s annual Gift Guide returns with a curation of fashion, tech, and lifestyle items that deserve to be gifted (or kept for yourself) this year.
Kicking off the 2024 series is Montblanc. The brand’s dedicated holiday capsule descends from the mountains with designs drawing from the emblematic Mont Blanc peak, and is complemented by an assortment of elevated daily essentials. From an icy “Avio Blue” leather wallet to a ski-illustrated suitcase inspired by Montblanc’s writing heritage, the eclectic range shows exactly why the brand remains a go-to for every type of holiday shopper.
Be sure to check out the complete Hypebae Gift Guide edit with Montblanc in the links below.
Meisterstück Gold-Coated 149 Fountain Pen
No brand does fountain pens quite like Montblanc, and the Meisterstück – roughly translating to masterpiece in German – is at the pinnacle of its offering with a black precious resin barrel and a cap top inlaid with the Montblanc emblem. For the holidays, give the gift of creativity with the iconic writing instrument crafted with gold-coated fittings and an 18K solid gold nib coated with rhodium.
#MY4810 Cabin Trolley
Need a switch up from your standard black suitcase? Montblanc’s limited-edition #MY4810 Cabin Trolley glides onto the Hypebae Gift Guide as the perfect winter-ready alternative. Emblazoned with a ski-inspired design depicting the Mont Blanc mountain, chalets, and skiers, the black sketch lands on an off-white polycarbonate shell that comes together to embody the brand’s pen-meets-paper identity.
Montblanc 142 Mini Leather Bag
Both sleek and versatile, Montblanc’s 142 Leather Bag found popularity in its rounded barrel-like shape and set of minimal components. For the latest iteration, the brand downsizes the bag into a miniature version with the leather body embossed in the Extreme 3.0 pattern, making for a striking accessory to any outfit.
Extreme 3.0 Wallet
Like the Montblanc 142 Mini Bag, the Extreme 3.0 Wallet is dressed in the same Bauhaus-style corrugated texture but instead of black, it introduces a pop of color with a rich “Avio Blue” shade. Inside, the nifty wallet features six credit card slots and a dual compartment for banknotes, finished with the brand’s logo embossed on one corner. Slim and lightweight, the wallet can be thrown into your bag or easily tucked into pockets.
Montblanc MTB 03 Headphones
Tech lovers who equally appreciate luxury fashion should feast their eyes on the MTB 03 Headphones. Designed for comfortable extended wear, the Bluetooth in-ear headset boasts a unique ergonomic shape suited to different ear types. As well as being noise-canceling and touch-controlled, they offer up rich and balanced audio tuning through the Montblanc Sound Signature, developed by world-renowned audio engineer Axel Grell.
Montblanc Iced Sea Automatic Date Watch
The saying, “Big gifts come in small packages” is most definitely true of the Iced Sea Automatic Date Watch. At first glance, it’s the bronze-toned detailing that stands out on the timepiece as well as the black dial inspired by Mer de Glace – the main glacier of the Mont Blanc Massif. However, a closer look reveals an iceberg and a diver intricately engraved on the back of the bronze-coated titanium case, in keeping with the diving watch. In addition to the case, the rubber strap can also be interchanged for different colorways.
