LOUIS XIII COGNAC AND LAQUAN SMITH UNITE TO UNVEIL AN EXCLUSIVE LIMITED-EDITION COLLECTION OF ACCESSORIES FOR LOUIS XIII THE DROP

The LOUIS XIII x LaQuan Smith Collection comprises two bespoke accessories, THE DROP Chain Pouch and The Boudoir Gloves. Crafted with a meticulous attention to detail, both accessories are designed to make enjoying LOUIS XIII Cognac a high fashion experience – elevating the wearers everyday art of life.

The collection launches through an alluring campaign, A Drop in Time by LOUIS XIII x LaQuan Smith, and features exceptional fashion-forward talents including Director Greg Swales, Artistic Director of Fashion Carine Roitfeld, and starring model Jasmine Tookes. These renowned creatives contributed to the campaign's artistic expression, glamour, and high-fashion atmosphere infused with LOUIS XIII THE DROP's timeless spontaneity.

"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 Roitfeld, Founder and Editor in Chief of CR Fashion Book who served as Artistic Director of Fashion for A Drop in Time.

THE DROP Chain Pouch is a statement piece made of pure silver, designed to hold a single bottle of LOUIS XIII THE DROP. Inspired by vintage flasks and bottles, the "metal-morphosis" design brings a fine-jewelry flair to the nomadic nature of THE DROP, encasing each 10ml bottle of LOUIS XIII Cognac in a stunning latticework armor enclosure.

The Boudoir Gloves, crafted from demure mesh, are opera-length with velvet detailing that graces the palm and interior forearm. The gloves pay homage to LOUIS XIII's traditional white glove service, modernized by design elements from LaQuan Smith's ready-to-wear staple: the mesh catsuit.

"This collaboration with LOUIS XIII Cognac and LaQuan Smith highlights our shared commitment to both modernity and timelessness," said Tina Reejsinghani, Vice President of Luxury Brands, Remy Cointreau USA. "Together, we're thrilled to showcase a truly unique collection and campaign with each accessory serving as a testament to the history of LOUIS XIII's craftsmanship, reborn with LaQuan's impeccable eye for style".
