WWD’s exclusive reveals Moynat will sell the final limited‑edition Moynat x Kasing Lung capsule in Paris only, starting March 6, with a campaign featuring Farida Khelfa, Sarah Andelman, actress Audrey Tautou and model Noémie Lenoir photographed by Theo Liu. The report frames the drop as the finale of a multi‑phase rollout that has moved through Asia and the United States since October.

The collaboration first surfaced with a September announcement starring Michelle Yeoh and Tony Leung, and the partnership’s opening activity included a Shanghai first drop in October that coincided with the kickoff of The Monsters anniversary exhibition tour, WWD reports. Boutique deliveries were reported as beginning October 11, 2025, with Hypebeast noting boutiques would carry the first delivery from October 11 through early 2026 and Hypebeast adding a December 5 drop in Hong Kong. An Instagram post excerpt in the dossier also claims the capsule would be available in selected Moynat boutiques from February 6, 2026, though that social post is truncated and appears inconsistent with WWD’s March 6 Paris‑only finale.

Product details compiled from coverage list a lineup that transplants Kasing Lung’s characters onto Moynat leather and canvas styles. The National listed Canvas M bags, three sizes of the Moynat Tote, the Hobo Mini, the weekender Mini 48h and hard‑to‑find Mignon bags as part of the collection; WWD describes this collaboration as the first time Kasing Lung’s artwork has appeared on leather goods. Hypebeast image metadata ties character names such as Labubu and Zimomo to specific Canvas M imagery, reinforcing the cross‑category push into Moynat’s signature formats.

Campaign casting has been deliberately global. WWD documents a January second drop supported by an American roster that included Brooke Shields, Angela Bassett, Fran Drescher, Lucy Liu and Martha Stewart alongside Grace Burns, Jordan Clarkson and Selah. Hypebeast and The National credit other campaign participants from earlier shoots, including Carine Roitfeld and Paris Opera Ballet étoile Guillaume Diop, with Xiangyu Liu credited for campaign photography on some images and Theo Liu credited for the Paris finale shoot.

Kasing Lung’s background and production partners anchor the collaboration. Kasing Lung created The Monsters universe in 2015 and has worked with Hong Kong manufacturer How2work since 2011; WWD notes How2work manufactures most of the plastic renditions of the characters. Moynat’s legacy as a leather trunk maker since 1848 and its hand‑stitched reputation are foregrounded in The National’s reporting on the partnership.

Kasing Lung reflected on the scale of the project in WWD’s coverage, saying he “could never in his wildest dreams have imagined a collaboration with a top French luxury house.” He added he was amazed that Labubu, a “side character” in “The Monsters” series, “has emerged to become a global phenomenon, with scores of fans including Marc Jacobs and Blackpink’s Lalisa Manobal.” WWD also records that a launch event during Art Basel Paris saw Bernard Arnault stop by, underscoring LVMH interest in the tie‑up.

Reporting across outlets shows a staggered, multi‑phase rollout with October boutique deliveries, a December Hong Kong drop, a January U.S. cast activation and a truncated February social claim, but WWD’s Feb. 27 exclusive identifies the final capsule as Paris‑only on sale March 6. Collectors tracking Labubu incarnations on Moynat canvases and leather are likely to see the Paris finale as the definitive last chance for this limited collaboration.
