MONTBLANC X THE WEBSTER COLLABORATION LAUNCH PARTY
The Webster — a brand I’ve known since my University of Miami days — collaborates with world renowned Mont Blanc to design a new stationary capsule edition. There is no fountain pen without the timeless elegance of Mont Blanc, but The Webster definitely completed the stationary set with its signature Flamingo pink. It’s no surprise that I love attending these events after a long day at work, so it was the cherry on top honor to have enjoyed meeting people while celebrating the ultimate luxury collaboration of Mont Blanc x The Webster.
Let’s rewind a bit to why I attended. The Webster flagship was founded in 2009 in South Beach, Miami, but I was still living in Egypt at the time. I didn’t discover The Webster until 2014, when I first moved to Miami. It was a ‘stumble-upon’ discovery I came across while exploring the Art Deco architecture of Miami Beach, which included The Webster hotel (est. 1939), home to The Webster store since ‘09. It was like walking into a giant closet of luxury clothes and mixture of brands to match my every mood and desire. Basically, The Webster was my fun place to shop and explore during college. Fast forward to now a decade since their first Miami store (5 years since I found them), and here they are in New York City!!! Their Soho location was last night’s launch venue, successfully bringing a little bit of Miami to New York.
The launch definitely connected a room full of industry insiders. Maggie Gyllenhaal & Peter Sarsgaard were two of quite a few guests who attended — of course I didn’t have the courage to go up and say hi to them (lol). I did, however, enjoy the mix of amazing talent around me — from bloggers, to stylists, to college interns — both Mont Blanc + The Webster did a marvelous job with the launch.
“The ultimate luxury collaboration: The set would not be complete without a signature ink in Webster pink.”
