Michael Kors has met his jet- set match in James Bond. The company has forged an exclusive partnershi­p with the “007” film franchise for the MKC x 007 Bond Capsule Collection.

Recognizin­g the 25th anniversar­y of the James Bond films and the release of the latest installmen­t, “No Time to Die,” the franchise will introduce a limited-edition capsule collection featuring the Michael Kors Bancroft satchel, which is featured in the movie.

The world premiere of “No Time to Die,” will take place at the Royal Albert Hall in London on March 31; the film will be released in the U.K. on April 2 and the U.S. on April 10.

The capsule consists of three pieces, which will be available in select Michael Kors stores worldwide, on michaelkor­s. com and on the franchise’s official web site, 007.com, starting in late March.

The Bond Bancroft satchel can be seen throughout the film on the character

Eve Moneypenny, played by Naomie Harris. The other items consist of a Bond carryall, rendered in calf leather, and Bond duffel, in luggage-hued cotton canvas, both featuring an exclusive MKC x 007 leather luggage tag. The Bancroft is $1,750, the carryall is $2,350, and the duffel is $1,950.

Asked why he wanted to partner with 007, Michael Kors told WWD, “I’ve long believed that when it comes to fashion and film, you can’t have one without the other. Movies have always been a source of inspiratio­n for me, and I think when you watch a great film, the clothing plays a huge role in transporti­ng you to another
