LUXURY LIVING FASHION u
Shortly before the start of this year ’ s Les Voiles de St . Tropez regatta – BMW unveiled its new additions to its already successful BMW Yachtsport Collection .
The collection which contains chic pieces of luggage , accessories and clothing with a sport and nautical-inspired design promises meet not just the practical requirements for those at sea but the sophistication and aesthetic requirements too .
While wind- and water-repellent materials respond to the specific demands of yachting , casual cuts and sophisticated details – such as zipper garages on the upper end of the zip ( which prevent it from trapping the wearer ) provide unbeatable comfort . The water-repellent BMW Yachting Jacket for ladies and men is the perfect companion in stronger winds and spray . The comfortable blouson cut also enables excellent freedom of movement when tacking and gybing . The jacket ’ s fresh white colouring with contrasting navy cuffs , coordinated red and white stripes and embossed BMW Yachtsport lettering create a stylish maritime look that ’ s also ideal for shore leave .
A BMW burgee badge on the sleeve , blue and red stripes on the placket and cuffs , and BMW Yachtsport lettering on the chest and inside of the collar emphasise the sporty , casual design of the new BMW Yachting Poloshirt . And the new BMW Yachting Cap – made of 100 % cotton , in white with contrasting navy stitching – provides optimum protection from the sun while out at sea .
As well as these stylish items of clothing , the new BMW Yachtsport Collection also includes luggage which is ideally suited for use on the waves . The extra-wide opening and large main compartment of the BMW Yachting Duffle Bag ensure sensitive items such as a mobile phone or laptop can be stowed away quickly in choppy conditions . What ’ s more , the bag is made from water- and dirt-repellent coated canvas .
The BMW Yachting Beach Bag – in white with large Cape Horn coordinates print and elegant carrying straps reminiscent of sailing ropes – is the ideal companion for relaxed trips ashore , while the high-quality BMW Yachting Dry Bag lends itself to challenging outings in rough seas . The robust material and welded seams make the bag 100 % waterproof .
To ensure that the keys to your house , car or boat – i . e . some of your most valuable possessions – don ’ t go missing , the collection also includes a karabiner-shaped BMW Yachting Key Ring . The strap made of rope plus the burgee and the metal BMW logo pendant provide visual highlights , ensuring that the keys can always be found easily on deck or wherever else everyday life takes you .
