Designed for the traveling tea-drinker, the Secrétaire Thé is a luxury tea set and trunk from the minds at Louis Vuitton and Fortnum and Mason. Founded in 1707, Fortnum and Mason has built a following thanks to its exquisite teas and luxurious gifting selections. This is part of what makes the Secrétaire Thé so intriguing, as it combines the extensive history of both Louis Vuitton and Fortnum and Mason, as well as each brands' dedication to craftsmanship and exciting designs.
Complete with a wooden foldable tray, and natural cowhide leather handles, the Secrétaire Thé manages to encapsulate flair, fashion, and clever design. The traveling tea-kit also comes equipped with the Fortnum & Mason Camellia Tea Set, which comes adorned with gold-gilded patterning and designs inspired by the handmade wallpaper of the Diamond Jubilee Tea Salon.
