Montblanc expands UK presence with ninth boutique opening in Leeds

Montblanc has expanded its brick-and-mortar presence by opening its doors to its ninth boutique in the UK, this time in the City of Leeds, a hub of culture in the north of England.

The Maison began pushing the boundaries of the culture of writings in 1906. At the same time, The Leeds Art Club was an influential forum, known for exploring innovative thinking. Parallels are often drawn between the two.

Spanning over 40 sqm, the new boutique space will showcase Montblanc’s latest novelties and core collections, from elegant writing utensils to classic timepieces. Customers can also discover Montblanc’s new leather pieces, technologies and accessories.  Each collection that is designed by Artistic Director, Marco Tomasetta, embodies the Maison's mission to empower the wearers, while being rooted in expert craftsmanship.

Georgia Noutsi, Brand Director at Montblanc UK and Ireland, commented: "We are excited to be expanding our retail presence in the UK. 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 boutique is open now for shoppers to discover the rich world of Montblanc and explore the full product offering.

Last year, Montblanc set its sight on physical expansion in the UK. In September 2022, the company announced an expansion within the luxury department store Harrods. The new space marked the Maison’s second corner at the luxury department store in addition to its Boutique within the Arcade on the lower ground floor.
