Must-Have Summer Accessories: Personalise Your Veuve Clicquot ICONS at the Champagne Pop-Up of the Season
Embracing the spirit of optimism and generosity that epitomises the South African summer, the Veuve Clicquot ICONS Collection truly celebrates sun-kissed days and joyous gatherings. Featuring four distinct and design-forward items, each a standout piece, this exclusive and customisable gifting range is now available at Africa’s first-ever Veuve Clicquot ICONS pop-up boutique, launching this December.
Set in the heart of Cape Town at the V&A Waterfront – Africa’s premier destination – the boutique opens the season with its unique solaire flair. It reflects the House’s pioneering spirit in design and innovation. This elevated retail space, symbolising the rising sun, promises a memorable shopping experience for both gift-seekers and collectors. Adding to the allure is a personalisation service, elevating selected ICONS to new heights of exclusivity.
The ICONS Collection highlights Veuve Clicquot’s dedication to ‘solaire culture,’ blending exceptional design with innovation, marrying aesthetics with functionality. This ethos, initiated by Madame Clicquot, the ‘grande dame of Champagne,’ who introduced numerous innovations to the champagne industry, continues to guide the House. Their 250-year legacy of design excellence is evident in the ICONS, reimagined with sustainability at the forefront.
Veuve Clicquot Arrow
The ‘follow your sun’ Clicquot Arrow, a limited edition, is now more vibrant and eco-conscious. Made from tin, it is both sustainable and recyclable. Beyond indicating the distance to Reims, France, home of the Veuve Clicquot, it can be customised with your preferred destination, be it Cape Town, Johannesburg, or beyond, symbolising the pursuit of your sunshine.
Veuve Clicquot Ice Jacket
In collaboration with Central Saint Martin’s College of Art and Design, the fashion centric Clicquot Ice Jacket is a high-tech and eco-friendly choice. Its fabric case ensures your champagne stays chilled for up to an hour, reusable over several occasions. Personalise it with exclusive summer patches for a unique style statement.

Celebrated as a pinnacle of French design, the Clicquot Ice Box, inspired by origami, transforms into a functional ice bucket and a work of art. It is reusable up to ten times and recyclable, blending practicality with aesthetics.
