Pharrell Williams has partnered with French leather goods maker
Moynat to create a capsule collection of handbags inspired by vintage steam locomotives. The Train Bag, available in hand-tooled acrylic resin or hand-carved ebony, is set to be unveiled at colette on October 13 and arrive the following week at Moynat boutiques in Paris and London. The resin bags boast a brass smokestack, side rods and steam-dome clasp, and are slated to retail in a numbered limited edition run for approximately $12,830 USD each. The company reportedly sourced a specialty atelier in Italy to carve each train, which takes three days to make, while the leather interior of the bags is inserted in Paris. An ebony version is set to retail for about $4,105 USD. Additional collaborative products include silk scarves and leather pouches with train motifs in marquetry.
