A Celebration of Craftsmanship and Culture
With a deep-rooted appreciation for travel and culture, The Ritz-Carlton proudly introduces an exciting partnership with Kilometre Paris, known for its exclusive hand-embroidered designs inspired by global destinations. This limited-edition capsule collection showcases four exceptional coastal resorts, transforming their unique atmospheres into an exquisite range of beach totes, stylish bucket bags, and elegant bandanas tailored for relaxed travel experiences.
A Focus on Meaningful Experiences

Funds raised will contribute to targeted programs in local communities where these resorts reside, fostering connection and purpose that lingers beyond guests' stays.
Each Piece Tells a Story
The collection goes beyond mere accessories; it's about creating lasting memories.

The variety of pieces serves not only as practical travel items but also as collectible reminders that celebrate artistry and the joy of traveling.
Design Philosophy Behind The Collection
Jamie Hoffman, Director of Global Marketing and Partnerships at The Ritz-Carlton, shares, "The most meaningful travel moments link guests firmly to the places, cultures, and communities they encounter.

This collection embodies the journey, ensuring that the experience remains with guests long after they leave."
