Now here’s a collaboration that oozes class, charm, and Louis XIII Cognac. Ready-to-wear designer LaQuan Smith has joined forces with the time-honored cognac house to give the world a reason to go back in time and bring out the chic diva. The collection comprises two bespoke accessories, The Drop Chain Pouch, and The Boudoir Gloves.
In particular, The Drop Chain Pouch, made of pure silver and inspired by vintage flasks and bottles, was designed to hold a single bottle of Louis XIII The Drop. Meanwhile, the Boudoir Gloves are opera-length gloves crafted from demure mesh with velvet detailing that incorporates design elements from Smith’s signature mesh catsuit. The Drop Chain Pouch is a statement piece of the set. It is crafted out of pure silver and holds a single bottle of Louis XIII The Drop.
It doesn’t take a genius to know the inspiration behind the eye-catching accessory: vintage flasks and bottles. The 10ml bottle of Louis XIII Cognac looks exceptional with a stunning lattice-work armor enclosure. The demure mesh gloves look oh-so-feminine with velvet detailing that graces the palm and interior forearm. The gloves pay an ode to Louis XIII’s traditional white glove service, revitalized with LaQuan Smith’s touch and the popularity of the mesh catsuit.
“I’m thrilled to embark on this extraordinary journey with Louis XIII Cognac,” expressed LaQuan Smith. “This partnership encapsulates innovation and redefines the Louis XIII tasting experience. This revolutionary collection is designed to spark conversation – merging high fashion with the elegance of the Maison’s time-honored rituals.”
“Accessories are the punctuation marks of style; they add distinct personality to the narrative of fashion. In the Louis XIII x LaQuan Smith campaign, we’ve woven each accessory with LaQuan’s elegant ready-to-wear designs, their versatility, and wearability serving as a testament to timeless allure,” said Carine.
The collection will be sold as a set for $2,300 in extremely limited quantities. The Louis XIII: The Drop Collection Box features five multi-colored 10ml bottles of Louis XIII Cognac, as well as The Drop Chain Pouch and The Boudoir Gloves.
