Frederic Saint-Romain from S.T. Dupont's headquarters in France attended the event in Vietnam, revealing that it took over a year for the initial design sketches to become reality, as both Trinidad and S.T. Dupont maintain meticulous attention to detail in their creations.

"We spent a great deal of time brainstorming because Trinidad places immense importance on its brand image," he shared.

In addition to the Trinidad collaboration, S.T. Dupont showcased other standout pieces, including the Fire X, known for its elegant diagonal design; Graff'ty, inspired by street art; and Fluo, which features bold, vibrant neon colors. Each product represents a blend of tradition and innovation, combining meticulous craftsmanship with contemporary design.

The event also unveiled the ultra-limited edition Casino Pocket lighter, inspired by roulette. Crafted from platinum and set with 26 rare rubies, only 88 of these exclusive lighters are available worldwide.

By the end of the year, S.T. Dupont will open its first standalone store in Vietnam at 74A1 Hai Ba Trung, District 1, Ho Chi Minh City. For over 150 years, the brand has been known for creating handmade masterpieces that reflect a high-class lifestyle and elevate the status of their owners.
