Gate-side luxury in Terminal 2
Five minutes' walk from most long-haul gates in Terminal 2, MCM is the stop if you forgot a smart-looking bag and care about labels. This is the German luxury leather brand with the big logo print, so think statement backpacks and cabin trolleys more than low-key basics.
Prices sit firmly in designer territory: small leather goods often start around €150–€200, with larger backpacks and carry-ons running several hundred euros or more. It’s airside in Terminal 2, so you can shop after security and keep an eye on your boarding time without backtracking through the airport.
The stock leans toward travel pieces: hard-shell cabin suitcases sized for EU overhead bins, logo backpacks that fit under-seat on most A320s, and passport wallets that actually hold boarding passes. Seasonal collections and color drops rotate, but core black and cognac items tend to be available year-round at Munich.
Payment is straightforward: major credit cards, contactless, and tax-free processing for eligible non-EU passengers, which can trim a noticeable amount off a big-ticket purchase. Staff are used to tight connections and will usually move quickly if you say you board in under 20 minutes.
Practical tip: check your airline’s cabin baggage size rules before buying a new carry-on here, and measure against one of the airport’s metal sizers in Terminal 2 before you head to the gate.
