Louis XIII has released L’Odyssee D’Un Roi, a collaboration inspired by the first shipments of LOUIS XIII in the late 1870s

Three French luxury houses will accompany LOUIS XIII on a year long travelling exhibition to showcase unique pieces in culture capital on different continents. Hermes, Puriforcat and Saint-Louis will present their own centuries-old savoir-faire to the creation of a series of three one-of-a-kind objets d’art.

“L’ODYSSÉE D’UN ROI is truly the result of a work of art and genius, a veritable tribute to craftsmanship and time. Much like the time, finesse and care it takes to create LOUIS XIII, so it is with the process of preserving classic cinema,” stated Ludovic du Plessis, LOUIS XIII global executive director.

“We therefore decided that the proceeds of our project will be donated to The Film Foundation, a group dedicated to film preservation and the exhibition of restored and classic cinema, a cultural legacy that one generation leaves to another.”
