Sacs and Kiton have unveiled their collaborative project, the Strider 13 KNT x Sacs, at the summer edition of Pitti Uomo 2025. The partnership combines SACS’ nautical expertise with Kiton’s sartorial craftsmanship through the KNT - Kiton New Textures project.The result is a unique version of the Strider 13, Sacs’ iconic and most successful model. The vessel measures 13.50 meters in length and is powered by three 400-hp Mercury Verado V10 engines. The design, created by renowned international yacht designer Christian Grande, features elegant and bold aesthetics that reflect the shared values of both brands.Nicola Antonelli, Sacs Tecnorib CMO, commented: “This collaboration stems from a natural convergence between two Italian examples of excellence. On the one hand, the innovative approach of Sacs, which has always reinterpreted boating with vision and courage. On the other, the ability of Kiton – through KNT – to combine the casual and sporty attitude of Strider 13 with an elegance provided by colours, details and fabrics, which further embellish the design.”The onboard design incorporates Kiton’s visual codes, featuring solid teak with cream insets lining the deck, KNT-designed tubes, and cushions with sophisticated color contrasts. Distinctive Etna red varnished details complement the interiors in bleached oak, Nubuk upholstery, and Kiton furniture and fittings.The vessel is equipped with state-of-the-art technology, including an integrated joystick system, dual Raymarine screens with augmented reality, and a sophisticated lighting package. This combination aims to provide an exclusive and immersive sailing experience.Antonio De Matteis, Kiton Managing Director, stated: “At a time when excellence can no longer be confined to the product alone, we felt the need to expand our presence, going beyond the boundaries of the wardrobe. This is not a branding exercise, but a choice fully consistent with the brand identity. We follow our customers along the natural rhythm of their summer journey, from sea to land, accompanying them to the places they live in and in the time they decide to dedicate to themselves.”Christian Grande added: “It was a challenging exercise to combine Strider’s expression of power at sea with Kiton’s more classic style. I wanted to condense all the stylistic contents of the KNT marine collection in a unique edition of the Strider 13 KNT x Sacs, from the alternating sand colours that spill over onto the pure white of this refined maxi-Rib to the material details of the collection itself.”Sacs Tecnorib, formed in 2021 through the integration of Sacs and Tecnorib, has a history dating back to 1989 when Sacs introduced high-end Maxi-Ribs with the Strider range. Tecnorib, founded in 2005 under a licensing agreement with Pirelli, expanded significantly in 2019 with the introduction of the Pirelli Speedboats range.Credits: Sacs, Kiton
