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.

The retail pop-up returns for its second year, drumming up excitement of Wynn's Ultimate Race Week

In honor of this exciting celebration and the holiday season, LOUIS XIII offered exclusive tastings, curated experiences, and luxury activations to celebrate the spirit of excellence.

The boutique also offered two collector's edition coffrets that featured gold leaf animations of Wynn Las Vegas and Race Week 2024 - crafted by hand and designed to capture the liveliness of Las Vegas, available exclusively when purchasing the LOUIS XIII Classic Decanter.

"Building on the success of last year, we are delighted to see LOUIS XIII Cognac continue to redefine how we engage with luxury-focused clients through bespoke and immersive retail experiences," said Nicolas Beckers, President & CEO of Rémy Cointreau Americas. "The boutique presents the perfect opportunity to share the rich legacy of LOUIS XIII with a discerning audience, during a time when the city pulses with energy and excitement."

Since 1874, LOUIS XIII Cognac is forever reborn from the precious eaux-de-vie of Cognac Grande Champagne, handed down through generations and artfully blended. Time is the raw material with which this rare spirit is crafted, its essence unwavering.

Guided by Cellar Master Baptiste Loiseau, LOUIS XIII is the symbol of an enduring bond with Nature and Terroir, strengthened by the patina of age. Each drop is a living legacy, each decanter a celebration of visionary minds and human hands that shape the future by making a mark on tomorrow, today.
