The catalogue includes 24-piece cutlery sets in various finishes (stainless steel, black, ivory, bright and forest green), with prices at the time of analysis ranging from £189 to £199, some presented in a tray.

It also distributes Lion Sabatier knives, a brand that combines more than two centuries of French knife-making tradition with high-performance steel and precision forging. The store highlights their durability, balance and elegance for cutting, carving and chopping tasks.

Ceramic cookware and pots and pans

Lacbleu offers Emile Henry ceramic cookware, made in Burgundy (France) since 1850 from local clay. The store describes this material as natural and toxin-free, with good heat distribution and suitable for going from oven to table. The catalogue includes bread bakers, roasters, tagines and pizza stones, among other items.

From the de Buyer brand, founded in France in 1830, it sells stainless steel, copper and carbon steel cookware, with efficient heat conduction and durable construction. Among the most popular products are Mineral B and Mineral B Pro frying pans in various diameters (20, 24, 26 and 28 cm), a Lyonnaise blue steel frying pan, a carbon steel pancake pan and a neoprene handle protector. Prices for these items at the time of consultation ranged from £9 to £70.

Home, candles and artisanal soaps

In the Maison section, Lacbleu sells Les Choses Simples candles, hand-made in Provence with 100% soy wax and fragrances developed in Grasse. They are produced in small batches with cotton wicks and environmentally friendly ingredients. The same brand makes artisanal soaps with 20% shea butter and plant-based cleansers, without harsh additives and with gentle natural fragrances. Organic cotton kitchen cloths in various colours are also offered.

The store also sells wine-themed puzzles by Water & Wines, created by sommeliers, with hand-illustrated designs, sustainable materials and educational content. The puzzles have 1,000 pieces and cover wine regions, grape profiles and tasting stories.

It is completed with accessories such as wine savers, coolers, bottle openers and wine auction catalogues.
