The princely gift was offered by S.T. Dupont

Although the princely couple had turned down every wedding present, and had for that purpose set up a charitable wedding list raising funds for good causes, they accepted one gift from France: a travel case signed S.T. Dupont. The case, together with two boxes, was made from the finest materials, to accompany Kate Middleton and Prince William on their travels.

The princely gift from the French brand S.T. Dupont

It was in recognition of the ties between the royal family and Simon Tissot Dupont that the present was accepted. In 1947, it was already S.T. Dupont that had made the wedding gift for Princess Elizabeth.

It is worth noting that S.T. Dupont, a specialist in luxury goods, in particular lighters, items for gentlemen, cigar accessories and leather goods, is an official supplier to the French Republic. With more than 130 years of experience, the brand has won over the greatest French families, and foreign ones too, counting the Duke of Windsor and the Queen of Siam among its customers.
