In a first for the brand, Rémy Martin—in partnership with Hermes, Saint Louis, and Puiforcat—has launched L’Odyssee d’un Roi, a limited-edition trunk set featuring its Louis XIII cognac. Limited to just three trunks, each is hand-stitched by Hermes Atelier; includes a hand-forged white gold Puiforcat pipette; and four Saint Louis glasses and a cognac decanter. The first of three trunks will be auctioned off in September at Sotheby’s, with the proceeds going to Martin Scorsese’s The Film Foundation. (The second and third will go in October and November.) Pre-auction estimates for the trunks are $100,000–$500,000 each. For more information on the sets, click here.
