Berlin seems like an unexpected destination for the launch of Montblanc’s new travel products...

On a few levels, Berlin reflects the products being launched. Berlin has always been a creative destination and a hodgepodge for travel. Nick Cave and David Bowie lived in Berlin, got inspired by the city and made music here. It has also been 30 years since the Berlin Wall came down, removing the blockade between East and West. Obstructions were lifted, and this is a good way to celebrate the concept of travel.

There are always varying preferences when it comes to luggage. What makes you confident that the #MY4810 will have a broad appeal?

There are three things. The wheels are second to none - such that the luggage almost dances. There is also a multi-stop handle. And finally, the leather details. When you put all these together, it makes the user able to make the luggage his or her own. You can use it the way you want to. The appeal is not in an instructive way, and you can use it how you wish to.
