Personalisable gifts for sun-soaked adventures.
Veuve Clicquot gifting returns to the V&A Waterfront for three sun-soaked weeks from 12 December. Bringing an extra dose of solaire lifestyle to our shores, the latest Road to the Sun collection is exclusively available at the new Yuppiechef store and features champagne accessories for alfresco adventures. It’s where you’ll find the most coveted, one-of-a-kind keepsake items for gift-givers and collectors alike.
Veuve Clicquot and its “solaire culture” was forged by Madame Clicquot, the Grande Dame of Champagne, who invented the first vintage in 1810, the first riddling table in 1816, and the first known blended rosé champagne in 1818. This heritage has been preserved for 250 years and continues to pioneer design excellence.
Designer buys
The Road to the Sun collection is sustainably made from sophisticated ecofriendly materials, and is also personalisable. Collectors will want to get their hands on the two new additions: the Puffy Bottle Holder and the Clicquot Cooler or gift one of the perennial icons: the much-loved Clicquot Arrow or the super-stylish Ice Jacket.
- The Puffy Bottle Holder is perfect for spontaneous summer picnics. Made from recycled materials, it’s a fashionable yet functional on-the-go bag with a sling strap (and customisable patches), designed to keep your champagne cool for up to an hour – while you hike to the perfect viewpoint or stroll to the beach to watch the sunset.
- The Clicquot Cooler is a durable tin cooler with a compact and luxurious feel, and bound to become a summer picnic essential. It keeps your bottle chilled for an hour and adds a golden dose of sunshine to all your outdoor celebrations throughout the season.
- The Clicquot Ice Jacket was co-designed with London’s Central St Martin’s. It’s a stylish high-tech knitted fabric case (to keep your bottle of champagne chilled for up to 60 minutes) that you can personalise by adding your choice of joyful message and summer-themed patches.
- The Clicquot “Follow Your Sun” Arrow is a whimsical object that will appeal to the adventurers at heart, it showcases the distance between Reims in France (birthplace of Veuve Clicquot) and your dream destination, which you can personalise at Yuppiechef, V&A Waterfront. Or go for one of the pre-customised Clicquot Arrows featuring Cape Town, Johannesburg or Durban.
Spontaneous summer adventures await, so pop into Yuppiechef V&A Waterfront and grab your Veuve Clicquot Road to the Sun gifts so you can celebrate the solaire season in style. Drink responsibly!
