Italian luxury brand Marni has teamed up with Parisian pâtisserie Ladurée to create an exclusive collection of delicious macaroons.

Consuelo Castiglioni, owner of Marni, designed these fashion statement boxes that incorporate the brand’s signature elements: polka dots and a gold flower.

Ladurée’s pastry chef Philippe Andrieu, meanwhile, has taken inspiration from Marni designs to make these mouth-watering chocolate delights, each to be adorned with a gold leaf.

Ladurée is partnering with Christian Louboutin starting in September on a series of macarons boxes illustrated with his iconic shoes.

There are three different gift boxes decorated with Louboutin shoes and purses.

The lid is designed to have a torn trompe l’oeil effect that gives a hint as to the contents.

Paris luxury jeweler Boucheron immortalizes Ladurée macarons in part of this year’s collection titled “Gaieté Parisienne” (Parisian Joy) with their new line, Gourmandise, which includes Tentation Macarons rings, pendants, necklaces and earings.

It’s modern, 21st. century and someone has already taken a bite out of each macaron as you can see from the teeth marks in the pictures.

The rings, which come in white gold with tsavorites, multicoloured sapphires, amethysts or garnets, look like they’ve already been bitten into. The best part? All the pleasure and none of the calories.

If you ever go to Paris, one of the places you must visit is Ladurée. It’s a luxurious patisserie that, since 1862, has been creating beautiful pastries.

The venerable brand has just launched a small line of beauty products. The original Ladurée beauty product collection pays homage to almonds, known for centuries for their hydrating properties as well as for having formed the basis of Ladurée’s celebrated Epicurean cuisine.

The collection comprises six products and the boxes holding the products are, as usual, decorated with the guardian angels from the Ladurée universe.

Although we love Ladurée, we’d rather eat its macaroons than trust a patisserie for our beauty needs…
