Ahead of the release of a movie-musical that will conclude the spellbinding story about the Witches of Oz, official collaborations like Wicked: For Good x Le Creuset are dropping to explore contrasting designs, iconic characters and darker themes than the first instalment of Wicked.
In partnership with Universal Products & Experiences, Le Creuset is releasing a spirited pair of Dutch Ovens, one inspired by the confidence of Glinda and another that pays tribute to Elphaba's conviction. While the Glinda Embossed Signature Round Dutch Oven features a soft pink enamel and an iconic silhouette, the Elphaba Embossed Signature Round Dutch Oven, with an ethereal green hue and a nickel knob, expresses the beauty of standing apart from the rest. Although both styles can be appreciated individually, the two Dutch Ovens are a harmonious match made for collecting.
