A solidarity collection created for the benefit of the Fondation du Grand-Duc et de la Grande-Duchesse and the Association Stand Speak Rise Up! of H.R.H. the Grand-Duchess has been launched : the Royal Collection Luxembourg.
‘Royal Collection Luxembourg’ is the very first line of its kind. It reflects not only elegance and modernism, but above all the deep-rooted values of the Grand Ducal Family: commitment, solidarity and family unity. Each object, inspired by this universe, bears the colours and values of the House, testifying to the indefectible link between tradition and modernity, and to the family’s commitment to important humanitarian causes.
Luxembourg craftsmen and designers in the limelight
This exceptional collection was created on the initiative of H.R.H. the Grand Duchess, in collaboration with Luxembourg and European craftsmen, houses and designers who wanted to showcase their expertise. This range celebrates Luxembourg’s cultural heritage through its artists and craftsmen, as well as its remarkable heritage.
H.R.H. the Grand Duchess also wanted to develop a range of exclusive products with prestigious local partners such as Oberweis patisseries, sparkling wine producer Bernard Massard and ceramist Claire Royer, with more to come.
Each piece in this top-of-the-range collection has been conceived with great attention to detail, then designed in Luxembourg and Europe as part of an eco-responsible and local approach, drawing on the expertise of Luxembourg and European craftsmen and women in a variety of trades.
The central element of the design is the HMT monogram, reworked for the occasion with the help of Luxembourg designers in a more contemporary style.
Collection of everyday objects
The collection is made up of everyday objects to suit all budgets, including a pocketknife and keyring in hand-tanned leather with natural pigments; a thick cotton bathmat with a design inspired by the gardens of the Château de Colmar-Berg; modern notebooks and pencils in the colours of the House of Nassau.
Some items also feature the ‘Roude Leiw’, a heraldic symbol taken from the coat of arms of the Grand Duke of Luxembourg.
There are also more sophisticated items, such as cufflinks engraved with the Grand Duke’s coat of arms, a silk scarf and tie with the HMT monogram, and a ‘Made in Luxembourg’ porcelain cup by ceramic artist Claire Royer.
A range dedicated to gastronomy is also available: exceptional chocolates (Oberweis), a special cuvée of crémant (Bernard Massard) and wines from Château les Crostes owned by Princess Claire and Prince Félix.
A charitable and social project
All profits from the sale of ‘Royal Collection Luxembourg’ items will be donated to the Grand Duke and Grand Duchess Foundation and to HRH the Grand Duchess’ association Stand Speak Rise Up! to support the two organisations in their work in Luxembourg and around the world to help the most vulnerable women and children.
Online orders are prepared by APEMH, a Luxembourg association that employs people with disabilities, reinforcing Royal Collection Luxembourg’s commitment to an inclusive society.
