The Ritz-Carlton and Kilometre Paris unveil handcrafted travel capsule - Get updated on what's happening in tourism!

The Ritz-Carlton has announced a new collaboration with Kilometre Paris, introducing a limited-edition capsule collection that translates the character of four of the brand’s coastal resorts into handcrafted travel accessories. The partnership brings together The Ritz-Carlton’s hospitality heritage and Kilometre Paris’ signature hand-embroidered designs.

The collection draws inspiration from The Ritz-Carlton, Laguna Niguel; The Ritz-Carlton Bacara, Santa Barbara; The Ritz-Carlton, Amelia Island; and The Ritz-Carlton Key Biscayne, Miami. Each destination is interpreted through a series of beach totes, basket bags and bandanas designed for leisure travel.

Accessories shaped by place and memory

Rather than focusing solely on function, the capsule positions its pieces as extensions of the travel experience. Colors, motifs and embroidery reflect the mood and visual identity of each resort, allowing guests to carry a tangible reminder of their journeys.

“At The Ritz-Carlton, the most meaningful travel experiences are those that connect guests more deeply to place, culture, and community,” said Jamie Hoffman, Director of Global Marketing and Partnerships at The Ritz-Carlton. “Our collaboration with Kilometre is an opportunity to tell that story through design, translating the spirit, color, and character of our resorts into pieces shaped by craftsmanship and sense of place.”

Handcrafted design and global craftsmanship

The capsule features Kilometre Paris’ distinctive hand-embroidered detailing across three core silhouettes. Handwoven basket bags, including models such as the Undercover Basket and Le Tube Basket, are crafted in Morocco using natural date palm leaves. The designs are complemented by hand-spun cotton bandanas incorporating coastal-inspired embroidery.

“Kilometre fits naturally with The Ritz-Carlton because we share the same obsession with excellence in every detail,” said Alexandra Senes, Founder of Kilometre Paris. “Like The Ritz-Carlton, we believe true luxury is not about appearance, but about craftsmanship, time, and human collaboration.”

All pieces are produced entirely by hand by artisan communities in Morocco, reflecting traditional techniques passed down through generations. The emphasis on manual production, material selection and narrative design underscores the shared focus on craftsmanship.

Social responsibility component

In line with The Ritz-Carlton’s Community Footprints programme, a portion of proceeds from the collection will support selected social and environmental initiatives within the local communities of the participating resorts.

Availability

The limited-edition capsule is available at The Ritz-Carlton Bacara, Santa Barbara; The Ritz-Carlton, Laguna Niguel; The Ritz-Carlton, Amelia Island; and The Ritz-Carlton Key Biscayne, Miami, as well as through The Ritz-Carlton Boutiques online.
