Drawing inspiration from sun-washed coastlines and resort escapes, the collaboration transforms the spirit of The Ritz-Carlton’s most iconic resorts into travel pieces designed to be carried, collected, and remembered.
Guided by a shared passion for travel and a deep sense of place, The Ritz-Carlton announces a new collaboration with Kilometre Paris, the luxury accessories brand renowned for its hand-embroidered, destination-driven designs. The limited-edition capsule translates four iconic coastal resorts – The Ritz-Carlton, Laguna Niguel, The Ritz-Carlton Bacara, Santa Barbara, The Ritz-Carlton, Amelia Island, and The Ritz-Carlton Key Biscayne, Miami – into a colourful assortment of beach totes, bucket bags, and bandanas perfect for leisure travel. Reflecting The Ritz-Carlton’s four-decade legacy of community stewardship, a portion of the proceeds from the collection will benefit Community Footprints, the brand’s global social and environmental responsibility platform. Proceeds will support select initiatives within the local communities of participating resorts, extending the spirit of each destination beyond the stay and into the lives of the people who shape it.
More than accessories, the pieces are conceived as memories you carry with you. Each design captures the mood, colour, and iconography of its destination, allowing guests to take the essence of these iconic resorts home, filling each bag with the objects, stories, and discoveries gathered along the way. The result is a collection that feels as at home poolside as it does tucked into a carry-on, transforming everyday travel essentials into collectable keepsakes that celebrate place, craftsmanship, and the joy of getting away.
Anchored by Kilometre Paris’ signature hand-embroidered storytelling, the capsule introduces three distinct silhouettes designed to travel beautifully. Handwoven basket bags – from the relaxed Undercover Basket to the sculptural Le Tube Basket – are crafted in Morocco using natural date palm leaves and finished with expressive embroidery inspired by each destination. Each basket is the result of a carefully considered process that brings together regional techniques and time-honoured traditions, reflecting Kilometre’s belief that an object can balance function with the story of how it comes to life. The collection is rounded out with a hand-spun cotton bandana, embroidered with playful nods to coastal life designed as a versatile travel companion to be worn, styled, and reimagined throughout the journey.
Each Kilometre piece from this collection is meticulously handcrafted by skilled artisans in Morocco – a region renowned for their rich textile heritage. Created through close, long-standing relationships with artisan communities, each piece reflects Kilometre’s belief that true luxury lies in time, human collaboration, and respect for craft. From intricate embroidery to final finishing, each piece is produced entirely by hand, with artisans sewing, embellishing, and assembling the items using methods passed down through generations. The result is a collection of refined, functional accessories designed as enduring expressions of craft, created to travel well beyond a single season or destination.
The collection is available for purchase in person 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 online at The Ritz-Carlton Boutiques.
