Le Creuset creates iconic premium cookware from the iconic Dutch Oven to the Signature Skillet. But, it's not only the only thing that's iconic about the brand, it's also dedicated to adding a splash of color.
And for summer 2026, a whole new colorway is bringing the outdoors in with Riviera, described by the brand as: "Breezey and exuberant, a breath of sea air instantly transports you to sun-drenched shores and luminous days by the water."
While all that sounds lovely, in color terms it translates into a blue-green hue with a classic gold knob (on relevant products) for that timeless Le Creuset look. So, if you're looking to expand your collection or start an entirely new one, this summery set might be just the right fit.
After all, it's always nice to have an excuse to add more Le Creuset to your basket, right?
Breezy and beautiful
So, where does Riviera fit in with the rest of the Le Creuset colorways? Well, the brand says it'll be found: "Equally at home alongside soft neutrals or bold, expressive brights, Riviera moves seamlessly, from calm and composed, to vibrant and playful. It's a color with range, carrying you from the kitchen to a coastal afternoon with ease."
Whether you pair it with the vibrant sailor blue of Marseille or the deep yellows of Nectar, it's up to you. What this collection seems to represent though is the vivid, bright and breezy nature of summertime. So, a new colorway like this times in perfectly as the sun begins to shine.
As is usually the case with Le Creuset's color launches, you'll be able to buy 41 different items from the cookware collection in the new Rivieria. For me, I've already narrowed it down to a shortlist and here's the five I'm adding to my basket straight away.
