Melissa Morris, the founder of luxury leather goods brand Métier, expresses her desire to create timeless pieces infused with the essence of Indiana, as she collaborates with Lucasfilm for the upcoming film Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny. She describes Indiana Jones as the epitome of a Métier man – an adventurous intellectual always on the move. However, she acknowledges that most of her clients are not searching for lost treasures like him.
Métier’s popular travel-inspired luxury bags, such as the Vagabond duffel and Sergeant All Day Cabas, have been seen in various episodes of the TV show Succession. Despite being more suited for breezing through airports rather than leaping across ravines, Morris’s bags perfectly capture the rugged style of the swashbuckling archaeologist.
The collaboration between Métier and the film’s costume designer, Joanna Johnston, was initiated when Johnston stumbled upon a reference to Indiana Jones on Métier’s Instagram account. Being fascinated by leather goods and travel, she thought it would be interesting to collaborate on pieces for the franchise’s fifth installment, scheduled for release later this month.
Now, they are launching a special collection of co-designed limited-edition bags and leather accessories. Each item embodies the adventurous spirit of the characters, including a modular chocolate suede Hunter messenger bag inspired by Phoebe Waller-Bridge’s character, Helena. This bag can be combined with a separate mesh Basket Bag, reflecting Helena’s nomadic and secretive nature.
One standout piece in the collection is a unique beige suede duffel bag with a patchwork lining made from leftover fabrics from the film, including scraps from Indiana’s suits and shirts. This bag not only showcases the film’s theme of authentic artifacts and world heritage preservation but also adds a touch of individuality to each piece. Each bag will be assigned a serial number and come with special packaging detailing the origins of the fabrics.
For fans of Indiana Jones, this collection offers an opportunity to own a piece of cinematic history that will only become more beautiful with age.
