May, 06 2015 (Palm Desert, CA)-- An unprecedented collaboration between French fashion house Louis Vuitton and the desert's premier luxury handcrafted organic skin care company.
The Body Deli, has created the VIP gifts for Louis Vuitton’s 2016 Cruise collection show in Palm Springs. This event will be held at the iconic estate of Bob and Delores Hope on May 6, 2015.
Louis Vuitton is welcoming 500 top clients, global fashion editors, and A-list celebrities to an exclusive event, where they’ll discover The Body Deli’s premium products. Made with fresh, locally sourced ingredients, these handcrafted essentials will be placed in their rooms at the desert’s most luxurious hotels.
The Body Deli creates the world's most innovative, fresh, and pure body care products made in the Coachella Valley. Louis Vuitton's discovery of this unique company has led to the collaboration between the two brands. The fashion house’s desire to show in Palm Springs is inspired by its renowned designer Nicolas Ghesquiere. His muse for the collection is Palm Springs architecture, esthetics and powerful desert landscape.
The Body Deli's Palm Springs Spa Collection was a perfect match, reflecting the iconic Palm Springs lifestyle. Designed with a chic, modern aesthetic, these products feature locally sourced citrus, dates, and botanicals, capturing the essence of the desert oasis.
Louis Vuitton's discovery of The Body Deli's facial care products was a spontaneous event. The moment of discovery was when corporate representatives from Paris were scouting accommodations and local venues in Palm Springs for their upcoming show. Media Relations Manager Joyce Kiehl of the Greater Palm Springs Conventions & Visitors Bureau made the introduction to The Body Deli's co-founder, David A. Parker.
Mr. Parker met with the Louis Vuitton’s Press and Public Relations Director Edouard Schneider and event executives to review the collections in The Body Deli’s product menu. Louis Vuitton chose their favorite products to gift their special guests. Louis Vuitton then requested special co-branded stationery with their logo that would be a personal touch and complete the presentation in the rooms. The cards reads, “Louis Vuitton welcomes you to discover locally crafted desert luxury by The Body Deli”. The rest is history.
The items selected for this ground breaking West Coast fashion event included the Palm Springs Spa Collection hydrating lotions, scrub for the body and Wash. Also chosen were The Body Deli's Sprouted Mineral Greens Line, made with raw ingredients that include their Living Hair Shampoo, Conditioner, and Nutrient Superfood Body Lotion and Body Wash.
David A. Parker says, "Our company is honored to hand make our very special products for Louis Vuitton’s first West Coast fashion show. We are inspired by our mutual values for quality and providing the best possible experience for our customers. We are thrilled to be a part of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that showcases the best of our desert."
The Body Deli’s Palm Springs Spa Collection captures the laid-back yet stylish essence of Palm Springs, known for its bold colors, mid-century design, and poolside living. Featuring the Las Palmas blend, this collection highlights locally grown Coachella Valley Medjool dates, aromatic grapefruit, fresh citrus, ginger, and a touch of jasmine. Infused with desert sage, the line includes hand and body wash, hydrating lotions, bath essential body oils, body exfoliation scrub, and natural perfume.
