The Ritz-Carlton and Late Checkout's Next Chapter Unveiled

The Ritz-Carlton is once again setting the benchmark in luxury lifestyle with the debut of their second collaboration with the Madrid-born fashion brand Late Checkout. This new chapter, which continues to blend sophistication with an irreverent touch, expands on the captivating formula that celebrated their first collaboration, winning a prestigious Gold Cannes Lions award. The updated collection, encompassing a broader array of products including accessories, home essentials, and children's styles, will be available globally, marking an exciting evolution in The Ritz-Carlton's signature offerings.

A Fresh Take on a Timeless Elegance

With the new collection, The Ritz-Carlton aims to honor its heritage through a playful palette that includes navy, ivory, and light blue colors while capturing the essence of Late Checkout's fun and whimsical style. Jamie Kerr, Global Head of Brand and Marketing for The Ritz-Carlton, remarked on the collection's evolution: "This next chapter deepens our shared story with Late Checkout. The Ritz-Carlton has grown to meet travelers across every journey... with family pieces and travel-ready accessories."

Unique Highlights of the Collection

The partnership's charm lies in the blend of polished sophistication and playful twists that reflect both brands’ identities. The collection boasts light knits embellished with The Ritz-Carlton's iconic lion emblem and velvet Sukajan jackets featuring bold embroidery. Moreover, luxurious loungewear options, such as shawl-collar dressing gowns and airy cotton pajama sets, redefine comfort and style for evenings in.

In a nod to family, the line also debuts children's apparel including refined rugby polos, tees, and caps. Home essentials, like chic throws and uniquely designed umbrellas, showcase the same creative spirit. A new globe motif, reminiscent of vintage travel symbols, beautifully encapsulates both brands' dedication to exploration and lifestyle evolution. Popular baseball caps return as a hallmark accessory within the collection, embodying an inviting and stylish ethos.

An Artistic Collaboration with a Cinematic Touch

The new line is accompanied by a cinematic campaign that takes place at The Ritz-Carlton, Nikko.

The film, described as surreal, highlights the serenity and allure of The Ritz-Carlton atmosphere while infusing it with a playful edge that Late Checkout is known for.
