German luxury goods company Montblanc to open boutique in Leeds

“We are excited to be expanding our retail presence in the UK,” said Georgia Noutsi, brand director at Montblanc U.K. and Ireland

“Leeds is a global cultural hub, and we are thrilled to be getting closer to our customers and to bring the Maison’s universe, collections, and customer experience to a city with culture so embedded in its history.

"We hope that with the new arrival of Montblanc, the Maison can continue to inspire those in Leeds to leave their mark, just like the members of The Leeds Art Club did.”

The Leeds Art Club was an influential forum during the early 20th century, known for exploring innovative thinking.

Spanning over 40 sqm, the new boutique space will showcase Montblanc’s latest novelties and core collections, from writing instruments to timepieces, as well as leather goods, new technologies and accessories.

The store will also feature Montblanc’s new leather pieces including the reimagined signature Meisterstück collection and Extreme 3.0, representing designs conceived to withstand “the demands of everyday travel with durability and performance”.

Each of the collections is designed by the Maison’s artistic director, Marco Tomasetta.

The firm says its collections underscore its mission to “empower everyone to leave their mark by doing what moves them in life”.

Montblanc was first founded in Hamburg in 1906.

The business has previously partnered with multiple brands including Ferrari and BMW.
