Making plans a century ahead also means thinking about the heritage we are preparing for future generations.

LOUIS XIII

Innovation is also a key concern for Louis XIII and its customers. That is how the second opus in the collection was born: Time Collection. Following on from the 1874 decanter The Origin, Louis XIII presented Time Collection 1900 Tribute to City of Lights, a limited-edition decanter that pays tribute to the Paris World Fair. It was on that very occasion that the Louis XIII decanter was presented and recognised. A champagne gold decoration and an artistic collaboration with Monnaie de Paris and the Cristallerie of Saint-Louis come together in this rare second edition.

Our clients also serve as inspiration for our innovation efforts. Life offers all of us a thousand and one opportunities to celebrate special occasions with family, friends and loved ones. With that in mind, Louis XIII has created The Gift Collection, a gift box designed to celebrate, thank or honour the person of your choice. A wide selection of high-end objects, designed by the most inspiring French houses, supplements the Louis XIII decanter and its four crystal glasses.

Being at the heart of our clients’ lives also means having a presence in the most beautiful places of the world. Whether in London, at Harrods, in Xi’an or Beijing, at SKP, or even in Singapore, our own Louis XIII stores and pop-ups are expanding and offering experiences that hold wide appeal. Louis XIII bookcases are emerging in the most beautiful palaces of the world. Set up in smoking rooms, bars and restaurants, these custom-designed bookcases comprise 8 to 12 glass cases, each containing a decanter, crystal glasses and a pipette. To top it all off, clients can have their name engraved on the case they own and enjoy their decanter with friends whenever they wish.
