From a French village to Meghan Markle’s kitchen: How Le Creuset became the Louis Vuitton of cookware

Quick Summary:

Born in a tiny French village, Le Creuset has become a global luxury icon—fired by craftsmanship, cult status, and social media clout.

Le Creuset has been "one of the strongest performers" in the homeware category, which has seen around 4.5-percent annual growth since 2019, he said.

The flagship Dutch oven model, now available in about 100 colours, started out exclusively in flaming orange, which still makes Le Creuset pots instantly recognisable.
