Louis Vuitton's latest journey isn’t a sartorial one but a sensational one, literally. From its flagship store at 6E. 57th Street in New York, the House unveils an exclusive chocolate bar at Le Chocolat Maxime Frédéric as a tribute to the brand’s rich legacy. This indulgent piece, featuring a chocolate design inspired by Louis Vuitton's legendary trunks, combines artistry, craftsmanship, and culinary delight in a signature expression of its charming location in New York.
A New Take on Tradition
Inspired by the classic American Pecan Pie, Louis Vuitton reinvents this beloved dessert with its new confection. At its core is 40% milk chocolate from Madagascar, known for its sweet, fruity notes. This velvety base is complemented by maple syrup caramel and a praliné made from French Pecans and sourced from the Lot-et-Garonne region. A delicate shortbread biscuit adds the perfect crunch, creating a harmonious balance of flavors and textures.
An Iconic Design Meets Culinary Art
The true innovation of this chocolate bar lies not only in its flavor profile but in its design. The playful figure of Vivienne, Louis Vuitton’s emblematic mascot, is embossed onto the bar, elevating it from a mere confection to an artistic statement. This melding of fashion, design, and taste echoes the brand’s commitment to pushing creative boundaries.
Available only at the Louis Vuitton store on 6E. 57th Street, the chocolate bar embodies the brand’s dedication to exclusivity. It’s an experience as much as it is a product — an invitation to indulge in the atmosphere of Louis Vuitton’s storied legacy while savoring an extraordinary creation.
