It’s been over 60 years since James Bond graced our screens for the first time, and with each new film the great British spy has cemented his place in cinematic history. And it’s not just audiences who find themselves enraptured by 007’s heroic escapades – a number of high-end brands have also taken notice over the years, producing some rather brilliant James Bond collaborations. Below, we round up some of our favourites from the last six decades.

10 James Bond Collaborations Coveted By Collectors

Octopussy themed carry-on case | James Bond collaborations

GLOBE-TROTTER

Octopussy Carry-On, £1,795

You might not be able to undertake the same adventures as the spy himself, but you can certainly look the part. Globe-Trotter has a whole line of carry-on cases inspired by the 007 franchise, including a special edition Octopussy 40th anniversary design. The sleek black case takes its cues from Octopussy’s silk robe – worn in the Octopalace, an exotic Indian residence which is home to her women-only sisterhood – with a large, illustrated octopus taking centre stage.

SWAINE LONDON

The Bond Attaché, £3,400

Cinema’s favourite undercover spy is a notable member of Swaine’s onscreen cohort. The House has kitted out 007 in not just one movie, but three: 1962’s Dr. No, 1963’s Russia With Love and 1964’s Goldfinger. In all three films, you can see Sean Connery’s Bond stride through the action with a classic attaché case – a style which is still available to purchase through Swaine today.

N. PEAL

The 007 Ribbed Army Sweater, £379

In his latest onscreen adventure, Bond could be spotted navigating the terrain in a sleek wool sweater. Modelled after British Army Commando sweaters, the ribbed design features canvas patches and neck detailing consistent with maritime clothing design – reflecting Bond’s close association with the Royal Navy. N.Peal developed the piece of knitwear with No Time To Die costume designer Suttirat Anne Larlarb – who wanted to give Daniel Craig a ‘unique look’ for the final scenes of the film.

CROCKETT & JONES

Bond Coat Of Arms Slippers, £495

Fancy stepping into the shoes of 007 himself? As the official partner and provider of footwear to James Bond, Crockett & Jones has helped shape the modern trajectory of the spy’s sartorial style. And, with its Goldfinger 60th anniversary collection, we can all get a slice of the action. Our highlight is a pair of velvet slippers adorned with the Bond family coat of arms; the perfect finishing touch to any 007 fan’s off-duty wardrobe.

CHAMPAGNE BOLLINGER

James Bond x Champagne Bollinger Anniversary magnum set, £3,500

When the occasion calls for bubbles rather than a strong martini, you’ll want a glass of Bollinger. To celebrate the 60th anniversary of Goldfinger, the French Champagne house released a limited-edition magnum alongside four exclusive 007 glasses – presented in a bespoke handcrafted case created in collaboration with Globe-Trotter. The (aptly dated) 2007 vintage was released in a numbered run of just 200, making it an exclusive collector’s item.

Faberge egg inspired by Octopussy | James Bond collaborations

FABERGÉ

Limited Edition Guilloché Enamel Octopussy Egg Objet, £POA

Anyone who has watched 1983’s Octopussy will remember how Bond found himself entangled in an elaborate Fabergé egg heist. And while this might have been the last major onscreen credit for the jewellery house, it wouldn’t be its last run-in with the British spy. Forty years later, Fabergé started working on a one-of-a-kind 007 Egg Objet. A piece of luxury cinema, the hand-painted green enamel egg features tentacle illustrations on the shell, before opening to reveal an 18k yellow gold octopus, adorned with diamond suckers.

James Bond Style maps out James Bond’s style evolution across all 25 films, with commentary from costume designer Lindy Hemming as well as the 007 actors themselves, alongside never-before-seen sketches, detailed fashion analysis and research by the series’ official archivist.

Blue James Bond shirt with memorabilia collaborations

TURNBULL & ASSER

Dr. No Blue Cotton Shirt with Cocktail Cuff as seen on James Bond, £315

Dr. No director Terence Young was a loyal Turnbull & Asser customer – so much so, that he sent Sean Connery to Jermyn Street for a fitting ahead of his role as the silver screen’s first James Bond. Connery went on to wear a specially designed shirt, made from blue cotton and featuring two-button turnback cocktail cuffs (which has since become a 007 signature). The details have been tweaked in the decades since, but you can still find the shirt in Turnbull & Asser stores.

ASTON MARTIN

DB12 Goldfinger Edition, £POA

Aston Martin has been Bond’s car of choice in 12 films to-date – starting with Goldfinger, when the DB5 made its silver screen debut. And, to celebrate the classic car’s 60th anniversary, its latest evolution is getting the 007 treatment. You won’t find all the gadgets needed to escape Bond’s adversaries, but the new DB12 Goldfinger Edition comes in the original Silver Birch colour palette, with 18k gold plated interior accents and an ’eight of hearts’ symbol on the drivers’ sun visor – a reference to the famous Miami pool scene.

OMEGA

The Seamaster Diver 300M, £7,900

The first time James Bond strapped an OMEGA watch on his wrist was in 1995, when Pierce Brosnan took to the screen in GoldenEye. It was Oscar-winning costume designer Lindy Hemming who suggested the British spy don OMEGA’s legendary Seamaster, and it has made an appearance in every Bond film since. You can pick up each watch worn by 007 at an OMEGA boutique, but avid fans and collectors will want the stainless steel Seamaster Diver 300M, a stainless steel timepiece crafted specially for the franchise’s 60th anniversary.
