LaQuan Smith launches accessories collection with Louis XIII Cognac

Ready-to-wear designer LaQuan Smith has joined forces with Louis XIII Cognac to introduce The Louis XIII x LaQuan Smith Collection.

The collection comprises two bespoke accessories: The Drop Chain Pouch and The Boudoir Gloves, which aim to elevate the experience of enjoying cognac. 

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 incorporate design elements from Smith’s signature mesh catsuit.

The collection will be sold as a set for $2,300 in extremely limited quantities, as of Tuesday. 

“I’m thrilled to embark on this extraordinary journey with Louis XIII Cognac,” said 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.”

“This collaboration with Louis XIII Cognac and LaQuan Smith highlights our shared commitment to both modernity and timelessness,” added 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”.

The collection launches with a campaign dubbed ‘A Drop in Time by Louis XIII x LaQuan Smith’ featuring fashion-forward talents including director Greg Swales, artistic director of Fashion Carine Roitfeld, and supermodel Jasmine Tookes. 

“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,” added Roitfeld, founder and editor in chief of CR Fashion Book.
