Mytheresa and Manolo Blahnik are setting sail with an exclusive collection of accessories and footwear, for men and women, inspired by the French Riviera.
The 21-piece capsule collection launches on March 26, and marks the first time that Mytheresa and Manolo Blahnik are working together. In the past Mytheresa has done footwear and accessories collaborations with brands such as Christian Louboutin, Gianvito Rossi and Aquazzura.
The capsule collection comes in a nautical palette of white, navy, and red and includes bi-color sandals, raffia mules and clutches, espadrilles, and striped ballerinas and pumps. Men have a choice of suede espadrilles, raffia loafers and sandals.

The art lover and world traveler Manolo Blahnik said he has “always been inspired by the French Riviera and have so many fond memories of endless summers” spent there.
“I took inspiration from the Côte d’Azur and the prolific artists who have used this magnificent coastline in their work. When I think of summer, Picasso’s paintings ‘The Bay of Cannes’ and ‘L’atelier de La Californie IV’ perfectly capture the essence, the colors, the textures, fun and frivolity. I hope this collection inspires joie de vivre for everyone who wears it,” he added.
Kristina Blahnik, the company’s chief executive, said new collection of shoes and bags “reflects the very essence of our brand — creativity, color, and craftsmanship. It is an honor to share our story with the Mytheresa community, inviting them to step into the world of Manolo.”
It’s been a busy month for both companies. This month, Manolo Blahnik created a scholarship at the University of the Arts London’s London College of Fashion.
The scholarship will be awarded to a first-year student on the BA (Hons) Cordwainers Footwear course to encourage innovation and craftsmanship.
The award is open to students based in the U.K., as well as those from international backgrounds. The luxury brand will be supporting students in their studies to ensure that “financial barriers do not stand in the way of creative excellence,” said the brand.
Mytheresa is moving closer to completing its acquisition of Yoox Net-a-Porter Group, with the closing set for some time during the first half of calendar 2025, nearer to the summer.
As reported, Mytheresa’s holding company is set to be changed to LuxExperience, and its ticker on the New York Stock Exchange will be renamed LUXE once the deal closes. Mytheresa will still exist as a retail brand within the group.
