LACLAYE

RENAISSANCE OF A HISTORIC OPENING

ELEVATING SERVICE

-

The claye is a forgotten and even long gone object. It laid asleep for a century, waiting to finally find its place and become the essential way of opening the most famous festive drink in the world.

The story of the LACLAYE brand begins at the bottom of our great-grandmother's drawer. Every time we met, Raymonde would set about opening a bottle of champagne with her slender and fragile hands. She would do so with incredible refinement thanks to her claye, historic and marked by the scars of time. A gesture so simple and executed with such ease that it would remain unnoticed over the years. Until the dawn of her 100th birthday when, improbably, she would still manage it without any effort but for her thumb perfectly holding the cork from the beginning to the end. We could not let the secret of this claye sleep any longer, disconcertingly sensible and simple and unrivaled in performance and elegance.

This claye that we imagine releasing bubbles in a palace as well as at a beautiful table accompanying each important or festive moment between friends or family had to finally come out of Raymonde's drawer. It had to be rethought and redesigned so it could return and become this object that we desire, that we pass on and that aspired to a completely different destiny: to establish itself as the true icon of champagne and sparkling wine bottle opening. A breakthrough, to finally offer the truly luxurious pleasure of opening champagne: quite simply, a beautiful object for a beautiful gesture.
