Montblanc’s has extended its Meisterstück Sfumato collection of masterfully painted leather goods with new styles and rich winter colours.

The zip top portfolio makes an ideal companion for any business meeting with a main compartment designed to carry documents and technology. In addition to navy and flannel, the portfolio is now available in dark purple.   

The Vertical Tote balances function with contemporary style. The large surface of the leather makes the perfect canvas for the sfumato technique, while inside the smart storage solutions comfortably accommodate a laptop, mobile phone, business cards and writing instrument. Crafted from wood with a flannel-coloured leather exterior, a pen pouch safely holds and protects three fine writing instruments. The smallest item in the collection, a drop key fob, adds a touch of elegance to any key ring.

Some of the collection’s favourite designs have been revisited in different colours ideal for the winter season. The slim document case, wallets, passport holder and credit card holder make a stylish statement in dark purple.  The highly functional briefcase single gusset with its inside pocket, compartments and mobile phone holder looks effortlessly sophisticated in navy blue.

Because each piece is delicately painted by hand before it is assembled, every bag, wallet, belt or accessory is unique. 

Master craftsmen apply four layers of paint to each individual piece of leather. An intricate process, the application of the sfumato effect gives the finest and softest calfskin its subtle finish. 

Mirroring the luxurious qualities of the leather itself, the sfumato technique expertly applied delivers a shadowed appearance that enhances the softness of the leather.
