From tin soldiers - as in The Nutcracker's, the inspiration for her fall 2009 collection - to tin cans, designer Erin Fetherston has teamed up with LU Cookies to do a specially designed Limited Edition tin for the European brand, LU Crème Roulée.
Erin designed the tins with the thought that they can be used for so many things – holding colored pencils and art supplies or a great hostess gift – definitely something that would be kept and re-used. The intent was to marry fashion and food hence the tagline, “chic little cookie”!
Erin has expanded her brand having designed a capsule collection for Target. She has now moved into the home and lifestyle arena adding her whimsical touch to LU Crème Roulée.

“I came to love LU when I lived in Paris as they are a European classic and everyone’s go-to cookie in France. LU has a long history integrating art and design into its campaigns ... I was thrilled to partner with them. I am an American designer and started my career in fashion in Paris before making my home in New York, so it really felt like the perfect fit. LU Biscuits have a strong French heritage and French style has always been a true inspiration for both my runway collections and my personal tastes. ... I felt that the handwritten script and fashion figurines would add my own personal, modern twist to the elegant spirit and sense of playfulness and delight of LU Biscuits.”
Her project will launch September 10th exclusively on Amazon.com. The tins are sold in a pack of six for $39 while supplies last. They are available for pre-order before September 10th.
