Le Creuset is retiring its ‘Shallot’ hue and giving 20% off
Every once in a while, Le Creuset says goodbye to a colorway — and inevitably, it has fans who truly love it and will be heartbroken to see it go. For anyone who has decorated their kitchen with Shallot cookware, that day is today. The brand has confirmed it’s phasing out Shallot, the soft, dusty lavender pink that goes with everything. But to mark the goodbye, Le Creuset is offering 20% off select Shallot pieces — and they’re already selling out fast.
You can now get your Owala bottle ‘tattooed’
Shallot goes with pretty much every kitchen, because it’s warm without being beige and colorful without being loud. It looks just as good on open shelving as it does going straight from oven to table. But once this color is gone, it’s gone for good, so get it while you can.
In this article: Le Creuset Signature Round Dutch Oven, Le Creuset Signature Oval Dutch Oven and Le Creuset Signature Braiser
If you’ve been eyeing a Dutch oven or hoping to add one more coordinating piece to your collection, now’s the moment. Below are the Shallot items still available (for now).

Le Creuset Signature Round Dutch Oven (was $435, now $348)
This is the classic Le Creuset piece most people start with. The round Dutch oven is ideal for soups, stews, bread and braises, with even heat distribution and a tight-fitting lid.
Le Creuset Signature Oval Dutch Oven (was $465, now $372)
The oval Dutch oven is especially useful for larger cuts of meat like whole chickens. It offers the same enameled-cast-iron performance as the round version, just in a shape better suited to roasts.
Le Creuset Signature Braiser (was $380, now $304)
Designed for shallow braising, sauteing and one-pan meals, this braiser is a workhorse with a wide base and domed lid that make it especially versatile.
