“As we celebrate the 125th year of the Swiss Army Knife, we are proud that we can consistently reinvent this iconic accessory. The travel retail customer is seeking innovation and quality and appreciates functionality and style. By forging robust partnerships with trusted brands like Adidas we meet the needs of travelers and continue to position ourselves as a strong multi-category lifestyle brand,” says Thomas Bodenmann, Head of Global Channels, Victorinox.
Partner for life
The Victorinox Classic SD Solemate Limited Edition is the perfect partner for life. Offering a lifetime guarantee against any defects in material and workmanship, the practical tool handles almost any urban adventure with multi-functionality and style.
The pocket knife comes with a nappa leather pouch, which can be attached to the sneaker and a key hanger, which matches the shoelaces of the EQT 93 Victorinox. Additionally, the coordinates of both headquarters – Herzogenaurach, Germany, and Ibach, Switzerland – are engraved on the blade. To round out this matching accessory, one scale represents Victorinox corporate design; the other shows the imprint of the pattern created by Damasteel®, which is integral to its brand history.
