Know before you buy
No, this collection is not dishwasher, microwave, oven, or freezer safe. Due to the delicate handmade gold and platinum accents, all pieces must be hand-washed to maintain their finish.
You have the flexibility to purchase individual components, such as mugs, bowls, and plates, or opt for the complete 5-piece place setting. This allows you to build your collection gradually or mix and match specific items to suit your needs.
To preserve the integrity of the handmade gold and platinum accents, avoid using abrasive sponges or harsh detergents. We recommend washing each piece gently by hand with a soft cloth and mild soap, then drying immediately.
Yes, the collection is specifically designed for sophisticated mixing and matching. Its bold, patterned aesthetic works beautifully as a statement piece when paired with solid-colored dinnerware or other items from the Christian Lacroix range.
No, these pieces are not designed to be stacked. We recommend storing them carefully with protective liners between each item to prevent scratching the glossy finish and the delicate metallic accents.
