Luxury packaging with a pop-art edge? Yes please. Chocolate leaps to a new fashion-forward level with these limited edition box sets designed by French fashion designer Olympia Le-Tan and renown chocolatier Pierre Marcolini.
These alluring 17-piece chocolate or macaroon sets are available through Marcolini's new Haute Chocolaterie boutique in Paris.
The sturdy design of these boxes means--what else? Collectible! The flip-top cover is great for calming those sugar cravings and after that's all gone, it's great for storing trinkets and treasures. And why wouldn't you, since the set features Le-Tan's trademark retro style with feminine, hand-drawn illustrations of big flirty lips and long-lashed eyes.
Once you flip the top, you meet the designers' softer side with lighter hues of pink, a sweet inscription to the buyer along with Le-Tan's whimsical logo and illustrations of birds, flowers and other ephemera.
"Maison Pierre Marcolini and Olympia Le-Tan are delighted to present the fruits of an unprecedented collaboration between the worlds of fine chocolate-making and fashion. Two cheekily-designed pink boxes contain a selection of Maison Pierre Marcolini creations lovingly chosen by Olympia Le-Tan." - Pierre Marcolini
Both boxes are embellished with kitschy sayings like "Only one thing on her mind" and "I have bitten off more than I can chew."
