Collaborations

A project may begin with a historical question, a publication, an exhibition proposal or a design idea. Tell us what you are planning, your audience and timetable, and the material or support you hope to discuss. The Estate can consider each enquiry and help identify relevant collections or sources.

Access to an object, reproduction rights, a loan, an endorsement or a trade mark are separate matters. Availability depends on ownership, permissions and the nature of the project. Use Contact and choose the relevant enquiry type.

Recent design projects have drawn on Bram’s writing, the first edition of Dracula and details of his life. Those featured below explore that continuing cultural interest.

Each year Montblanc’s Writers Edition celebrates one of the world’s great authors; previous honourees include Ernest Hemingway, Agatha Christie, Charles Dickens, Edgar Allan Poe, F. Scott Fitzgerald, William Shakespeare and Jane Austen, as well as Bram’s friends Arthur Conan Doyle, Mark Twain, George Bernard Shaw and Oscar Wilde. The 2026 edition, launched on 1 July 2026, is dedicated to Bram. The family worked closely with Montblanc’s designers in Hamburg and Paris, and the pens draw on details of Bram’s life as well as the novel: the Lyceum Theatre, the Stoker coat of arms, Celtic knots drawn by his sister Matilda, and the Arts and Crafts movement. The shape of some of the pens is based on the Victorian Pravaz syringe, a nod to the medical science that runs through Dracula.

The project photographs show the pens together and in close detail, alongside images from the visit to Montblanc. They offer a way to follow the passage from literary references to creatively designed objects and illustrate the enduring cultural presence of Bram and Dracula.

The collection is completed by a purple ink, inspired by the velvet lining of an old Pravaz syringe case, a black velvet notebook embossed with the Limited Edition 8 flowers, and steel and jasper cufflinks. See montblanc.com.

In 2025, for his debut collection as Creative Director of Dior, Jonathan Anderson reimagined the house’s Dior Book Tote as a series of first-edition book covers entitled the “Dream Library” collection. Dracula led the line-up, with the yellow and red 1897 first-edition cover recreated on the Book Tote clothing and accessories. Dior first revealed the Dracula tote on its Instagram on 20 June 2025, and the collection reached boutiques worldwide in January 2026. Like Bram, Anderson is Irish; he has said he discovered that Bram was Irish when he walked to work down Kildare Street in Dublin, past a plaque commemorating Bram’s former home. In his account, he expressed surprise that Bram’s Irishness was so often overlooked. That moment of recognition stayed with Anderson for years and later informed his decision to draw on Dracula in his work.

Other titles in the collection include James Joyce’s Ulysses, Flaubert’s Madame Bovary, Baudelaire’s Les Fleurs du Mal, Capote’s In Cold Blood and Bret Easton Ellis’s American Psycho.
