MALTON & KIELMAN TO LAUNCH TATTOO COLLECTION ON MARCH 1

Polish bespoke accessories brand Malton & Kielman will launch its newest collection, Tattoo, on March 1.

The collection, which contains state-of-the-art leather bags and accessories with authentic tattoos, is a collaboration between co-founder Mikael Malton and Fredrik Thorsén, who is a Swedish artist specializing in realistic painting. Prices range from $139 for a card-holder to $1,773 for a weekender.

“We’ve given our customers the possibility to create something really unique,” says Malton. “Adding monograms to bags is a classical way to personalize items. Getting a tattoo on your bag really takes it a step further.”

Adds Thorsén: “Essentially, creating tattoos doesn’t differ much from painting. The basic concepts are in many ways the same. However, the expressions that come out of tattoos on leather create very different pieces of art with some striking effects.”
