London - Cult label Mansur Gavriel is set to expand into menswear and accessories, as its founders Rachel Mansur and Floriana Gavriel seek to develop a full lifestyle brand.

The first collection to launch for men's will be a range of accessories, launching for pre-autumn 2018, announced Mansur Gavriel in a statement. Set to feature 11 different styles, including backpacks, briefcases and totes, Mansur Gavriel debut men's line will offer a more manly-twist on some of the brand's most iconic designs. Handmade in Italy in canvas, vegetable tan and calf leather, the new collection will be available in a range of colours.

"We are thrilled to introduce our first men’s collection of quality handmade leather goods," said Rachel Mansur & Floriana Gavriel. "The offering is a natural extension of the Mansur Gavriel brand that embodies our core principles of elegance, quality, longevity, and emotion, all expressed through color, material and form." The new men's line launch comes six years after the duo first launched their simple, yet clean handbag range, which went on to be a huge hit.

The first men's accessories collection will launch at Mansur Gavriel stores in New York and Los Angeles as well as online, with prices ranging from 195 US dollars to 1,395 US dollars (145 GBP to 1,050 GBP) on May 29. In addition, the collection will also be exclusively available via Mr Porter on May 30, the brother site to Net-a-Porter. A second capsule collection, featuring men's ready-to-wear, footwear and accessories is set to launch in September.

Mansur Gavriel new men's line will be designed and manufactured by the label's in-house team, which currently oversees the brand's women's ready-to-wear and accessories lines. The cult label's product expansion push comes as its founders focus on strengthening its retail footprint. Mansur Gavriel opened a new store in Los Angeles in February, marking its third store in the US, which features a cafe as the brand seeks to enhance their customers' shopping journey.
