About the project
"Inspired by the iconic Louis Vuitton checkerboard motif, we created a birthday jelly using the ultimate jelly technique. The checker’d jelly was prolific during 1821, the year of Louis’ birth, and remains a treasured dessert to this day with expert jelly aficionados. Perfected by 18th century innovator Elizabeth Raffold, who supplied these jellies for ‘cold entertainment’, the checkerboard jelly was also an experimental art of 'the father of «high art» French cooking' Marie-Antoine Carême."
