The Pensione Colonna Rotta is our take on the family’s hideaway, safe house or pickup place for special deliveries – and you are all a part of this family. Inspired by Tony Soprano‘s classic white bathrobe and the sauna scenes in the series, the beautiful ‚Grand Budapest Hotel‘ by Wes Anderson but also action packed heist movies like ‚Ocean’s Eleven‘. Captured by Moritz Matthias.

Teaser Video

With the Hotel vibe we wanted to have in this drop, we thought a catering cart would be the perfect look for the first teaser video. The cart drives through the hallway and gives a little peak into the hotel room with Julia wearing the new T-Shirt receiving an envelope by the cart boy!

Drop Video

Here we are with the view of the peep hole: So many different people are arriving in the hotel room, picking up stuff, exchanging stuff. We wanted the vibe to resemble with an Ocean's 11 style narrative. Everything is very sketchy, very cosca!

Closing Video

"You guys are pros, I'm sure you can make it out of the casino!" - a quote from the Ocean's 11 movie from Ruben. The story here is that Julia and Nico check the envelope and now need to leave with the RIMOWA briefcase that just got delivered to them.

A little easter egg:

Have you seen "Darjeeling Limited"? Maybe you recognize the luggage initials and numbers from the movie - just a little homage!

Special Thanks

Thanks again to all the team and family members making this drop come to live and look as special as it was intended to. With almost no budget and no time and a lot of stress, the outcome couldn't have been better.
